If the belt has moved to the right, using the same allen key, turn the right adjustment (end cap) screw ½ turn clockwise; then turn the left adjustment screw ½ turn counterclockwise. Check if the belt has moved and is centered. Repeat the sequence until the belt is centered. And if the belt has moved to the left, turn the right adjustment screw ½ turn counterclockwise; then turn the left screw ½ turn clockwise. . Check if the belt has moved and is centered.
