+When checking belt deflection immediately after
installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then,
after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust it to
the specified value to avoid variation in deflection
between pulleys.
+Make sure the belts are fully fitted into the pulley
grooves during installation.
+Handle with care to avoid smearing the belts with oil or
cooling water etc.
+Do not twist or bend the belts with strong force.
