: Belt Tensioner - Wear Indication Marks?

Just replaced my dead belt and had a question as to the belt tensioner's wear indicator and what it should show with a new belt - also, which way does the indicator move as the belt wears? I assume it is to the left.

I've attached a pic of the tensioner indicator with the new belt mounted.

The tensioner goes clockwise as it wears, yes?

Ya, makes sense - guess I don't know my right from my left :think:
