scorpa3 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 It's either manual, in which case you need to slacken a lock nut and wind in the adjuster until it takes up the slack, then re-tighten. Or It's mechanical, which means a spring pushes the tensioner against the blade which takes up the slack. To stop the spring being force back under load, there is a simple toothed ratchet mechanism.
