Pass the belt up through the top corner bracket and around the top pulley. Make sure the belt is not twisted and the teeth face towards the pulley as shown in the photo.

Pass the belt down to the stepper motor making sure not to twist it.

Pass the belt around the pulley on the stepper motor as shown in the second photo. Make sure the teeth are engaged.

Continue pulling the belt up to the carriage.

It's helpful to secure the carriage to the tower with masking tape so it doesn't move when you pull on the belt.

Insert the belt into the slot in the carriage stretching the belt tight - but you do not need to overdo it. Secure the end of the belt with a Zip Tie and clip the ends of the belt and Zip Tie as shown in the third photo.
