You position the ponter in the centre of the square window, then nip the pivot bolt up. Turn the engine over a couple of times, then recheck the
pointer, if still in the middle of the suare window, torque up the pivot, if not repeat, job jobbed.

Sorry forgot to mention you use an allen key to turn the tensioner to move the pointer.
