Nut until the required Belt Tension is achieved. To loosen the Belts turn

Engine Output Shafts, Blade Shafts, Belts, and cause premature Bearing
Failures. Failures due to too tight of Belts are not covered by any
warranty. Too loose of Belts will cause the Belts to slip under load, and
may cause burning of the Belts and is not covered under any warranty.
