This is from memory (so not reliable) but I think the FSM lists a belt tension of 35 to 40 pounds (? I can't recall the unit for deflection). A cricket will put you in that ball park with certainty.---

When belts are involved, I have followed the Factory Service Manual for decades:
1. Use belts that are the size specified.
2. Use a Cricket for adjustment (and follow the instructions included with said).
