Retensioning belts

[richman]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how does one retension a belt on the igen? I've heard techs say a belt just needed to be retensioned. I'm curious if they are manually retensioning the belt or they use a diagnostic for it.

Thanks!

Usually means an idler was loose.

Manually. As Milo mentioned the tension idlers go loose due to the belts stretching. And there are a lot of belts to stretch in an iGen
