The recommended method here is grab the lower part of the belt midway between the the sprockets, if you can turn it 90 degrees it is fine, if you can turn it more, you need to tighten, less you need to loosen. No one here bothers with the gauge and most of us just throw the thing out.

For future reference, all questions should be posted in the "Rubber Side Down" section, this section is for how-to not how do I

Don't worry too much about posting in wrong area, I did the same thing my first post.

You should have told him to go down the pub and eat ten pickled eggs followed by a pint of worst bitter they have on tap.........that should cover his sins...lol BTW - How is beautiful down town Weston Super Mare? It's been a long time since I was there, about thirty years ago.
