Belt sos as not to give slack at each center of shaft. Do as following procedures when installing timing belt.
Crankshaft sprocket (A) --> idler pulley (B) --> camshaft sprocket (C) --> timing belt tensioner (D). (The tensioner can be installed after the timing belt.)

Check the alignment of the timing marks.
Remove the pin fixing the tensioner arm
Using a hex-wrench, apply tension to the timing belt in the clockwise direction so that there is no slack in the belt on the tension side.
CAUTION: Do not rotate the adjuster clockwise
It will result in auto tensioner's functional problem
