Default Jointer belt problem

Recently bought the Rikon 6" jointer that is on sale at Woodcraft. Got it
assembled and hit the on switch. The machine immediately threw the belt off
of the motor pulley. Checked to make sure the pullleys are lined up and they
appeared OK. I have adjusted the tension and tried realigning the pulleys
and I always get the same results, the belt comes off. It uses the ribbed
belt and each pulley has two diameters so you can change speeds.

This happened about 9:00 lst night and I didn't feel like sopending a lot of
time playing with it. Haven't touched it this morning yet. Any suggestions
from the group?

Oswin
