Message	is mentioned several times in the FSM for setting the deflection of the various belts. For the accessory belts I have just gone by eye, but the method described in the FSM seems to be quite specific on the amount of force to measure deflection of the timing belt.

(n/m) - BlackholeZ 16:28:37 10/15/07 Set tensioner gap to ~5MM, turn motor by hand, check again. (n/m) - YugoBernie (NoVA) 17:00:37 10/15/07 4 or 5mm allen wrench works well for that task. (n/m) - Guapo 17:11:19 10/15/07 Indeed. (n/m) - YugoBernie (NoVA) 17:25:32 10/15/07 So you want to end up w/ 4-5mm gap after turning? - BlackholeZ 23:13:17 10/15/07 Yes.
