Proper belt tension on a '01 2.5 outback?

Hey guys, I got a belt that is smelling like it's burning. So I'm going to replace all the belts, but I was wondering, does anyone have the correct procedure for belt tension on a 2001 Legacy outback with the 2.5? Thanks in advance.

From Chilton's ... "The tension of each belt is checked by pushing on the belt at a distance halfway between the pulleys. Push firmly with your thumb and see how much the belt moves (deflects). As a rule of thumb the belt should deflect approximately 1/4 inch."

 

Basically the same for most engines.
