How do you properly tighten the accessory belt on a Toyota Echo?

The Echo doesn't have a belt tensioner, you simply pivot the alternator to tighten the belt.

Any tips on getting it properly tightened? I replaced it yesterday and its slipping more than the belt I just replaced was.

It only slips if the A/C is on, I'm partially wondering if the compressor needs to be recharged.
