Abstract
A method for adjusting the tension of a drive belt wherein a tensioning device is pretensioned, e.g., after manufacturing at the plant, with a force corresponding to the force desired for subsequent operation. At this position, calibration markings are formed which can be checked during subsequent adjustments. After being mounted, the drive belt is tensioned until the markings line up.
