There may be a diagram imprinted on fan shroud. There is a belt tensioner that tightens the belt. Also when installing belt be sure you have grooved part of belt riding on grooved pulleys. And flat side of belt riding on flat sided pulleys.
You probably have a loose pulley causing it to come off. before you put it back on check all the pulley to see if they wobble or are hard to turn. There is a diagram of where the belt goes on a sticker somewhere under your hood. Generally the ribbed side of the belt goes into pulleys with groves. The smooth side goes against smooth pulleys.
there should be a sticker on the fan housing on the top that will show you how the belt should go. If you dont have the sticker, go to a dealer, ask for the sticker, its only 3 bucks.
There is a belt diagram on the emission sticker under the hood, if it is not there I suggest you get an Escort repair manual. I have searched the Web and am unable to come up with qa diagram of the belt.
