Because the alternator pulley is shifted back in its new location, the belt should wrap around the 6 ribs on the crank closest to the engine (see Figure 4bi and the 6-ribs on the alternator pulley furthest from the alternator (see Figure 4c).

Once the belt has been installed, check the tension indicator markings on the side of the autotensioner (as highlighted in Figure 4c). The small marking should fall inside of the larger marking if the belt is properly tensioned.

If you find that the belt is too short to be installed or that the belt is installed but is not properly tensioned as per the tension markings, this may indicate that the spring housing needs adjustment as discussed in Step 2. For best results, only use the tensioner after it has been calibrated so that the tension indicator markings are aligned.
