Just check the tension and retighten according. It's perfectly normal for a new belt to stretch slightly after it's been broken in.

That changes things. You should be using a shorter belt with any UDP.

He means shorter belt... but it's obvious from the context.

I think those sizes are way off between the 2. Don't be worried that something will happen right away but get the right sized belt in the future.
