Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A device and method of use of that device to automatically adjust the tension of a belt(s) used in a driven system is disclosed. The system includes at least one driving device or power source and at least one driven device. The system further includes a tensioning member that serves to continuously compensate for slack which naturally develops in the belt or belts during normal operation of the system, as well as preloading the device with the appropriate amount of tension. The device provides a manually operated adjustment which allows for user control of the tensioning member, as well as an indicator which displays the amount of elongation of a belt and/or the desired preloaded tension of the system, thus simplifying removal, application, and replacement of belts, etc.
