Already mentioned, but I'll reinforce. Be prepared to replace the tensioner. They do not last long and the more you loosen/tighten, the sooner they lose all ability to hold belt tension.

A terrible design.
I think I now understand. I've have a look in the morning. Hopefully I can get through this by just loosening, and then tightening the tensioner adjuster.

Thanks everyone for your help.
