TVFS73BGPUK BELT DRIVE TO TIGHT TO SPIN

I fitted a belt drive from yourselves which i have spoken to the help line and it is the correct one for the TVFS73BGPUK. The belt however is really tight and the motor smells of burning when i try to use a cycle. does anyone know of a way to loosen the drive shaft or something other than calling out an engineer which is all you get from Hotpoint Thanks
