If the belt is not breaking but just coming off, then more then likely your tensioner is not holding it tight enough.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

If the belt is breaking then that is a different issue but below you will find the process from the manual on replace the tensioner. I would go ahead and put a new belt on as well just to be sure due to having it off anyway.
