I could use some help with setting the right tension on my rb26

I'm using the FSM but the pictures and description confuse me.

Could someone clearify how to properly set the tension on my belt at the part when the spring is sitting on the stopper and the tensioner ready to be turned

is it 20 degrees downward from that point?

sorry for asking what is a really easy question but like i said the FSM is really got me twisted and i wanna do it right.

thanks!

With the belt on and the tensioner loose, spin the motor over 2-3 times clockwise

Tighten the tensioner where it comes to rest
