same routing as noted prior to removal.
4. Compress the belt tensioner, and slide the belt
over the tensioner pulley. Release the tension
slowly to tension the belt.

removed before inspecting the drive belt(s). The
drive belt(s) should be checked periodically for
condition and tension. If the belt(s) shows signs of
cracking, glazing or deterioration, replace with new
belt(s).
