I cannot link you to a manual because GE does not allow access to its tech material, but here are the instructions. The diagrams will not copy, but I think they may be provided with the belt install tool which I recommend you using.

"Since the belt provides constant tension, there is
no need for adjustments (an adjustment method
is not provided).

A worn or damaged belt can result in excessive
brake time and will initiate a motor inverter
slipping belt error code. This code will prevent
the motor/inverter from operating.

To replace the drive belt it may be helpful to use

the belt install tool (part number WX05X10102.

To replace the drive belt using the tool kit:

Note: If not using the belt install tool, follow steps 1
through 3, and 6 through 7. Remove wire tie after
step 7.

Disconnect power.

Remove the front panel. (See Front Panel.)

Center belt on drive pulley and secure tightly
with wire tie as shown on following page. Align
wire tie as shown.

Stretch the belt install tool to fit over the end of
the motor shaft. (See Figure A.)

Slide belt install tool upward until it snaps into
the first groove of the motor shaft. (See Figure
B.)

Center belt on motor shaft grooves and slowly
turn drive pulley clockwise.

Continue rotating drive pulley until belt is fully
engaged.

Remove wire tie and belt install tool.

Note:

A new belt will be slightly smaller than the drive pulley.

A belt that has been installed on the drive pulley will stretch
to the diameter of the pulley over time. This is normal and

does not indicate a bad belt."
