Loosen bolt 1 two or three turns.
Unscrew the adjusting bolt 2, loosen the belt tension and remove it.
Inspect the belt.
If it has cracks, rubber delamination, tears, dirt deposits between the ribs, etc., replace the belt. Inspect the pulleys.
Clean or replace the pulleys if they are dirty or damaged.
