    • Check that the idler pulley is properly tensioning the belt:

    • Use your fingers to roll the belt. If you cannot twist the belt more than a quarter turn, the belt is sufficiently tensioned. If the belt is too loose, set the idler pulley lower to tension the belt more.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
