When are the supposed to tighten the 3 nuts for the pull cover. They show installed and snugged, i am assuming tighten them after releasing the tensioner hex. I am having trouble with the tensioner hence the observation.
Sadly this video does not (IMO) give proper instruction for actually using the tensioner correctly and failing to do so can break your tensioner or give you improper tension: 1) Ensure that the tensioner assembly is on the "loose setting" (indicated by the arrow on the plastic tensioner nut pointing at the "O" on the cover) when you put on and tighten the front cover. 2) Put on the rear cover when you can visibly see that the black plastic arm of the tensioner assembly is touching the white peg that it pushes against to create the tension (It's not the best view, but you can see this from 2:34 to 2:44 in this video) and have the nuts on barely finger tight. 3) Tighten the belt by turning the plastic tensioner nut clockwise until reaches a noticeable stop. You will feel resistance and the arm assembly should slide forward slightly as you turn the tensioner nut. 4) After you hit the stop, fully tighten down the rear cover nuts. This is from the user's manual which I have in front of me although I rephrased it a little so the video could be used as visual aid. You're correct @jlit6428, this is one of most important aspects of the entire process and they really didn't explain it very well.
