Well first find out which pully the noise is comming from. Then you can figure out whats wrong from there.

Look closely at the tensioner - there is a small arrow that points to an area marked "range". The arrow should be about in the middle of the "range". My guess is that the belt is a bit too long, and the tensioner isn't putting enough tension on the belt causing it to slip on start up. You may need a different length (slightly shorter) belt. How long is the belt they supplied? What is the part number on the belt?

What's the part number on the belt? You need a shorter one - we can probably tell you what length you have if you'll tell us the part number.
