Learn it. Go find a personal weight scales, take big screwdriver and push down until u get 20lb reading. Repeat until ... now then run to maxima and repeat the push on the belt as a pro
Accuracy is your thumb thickness. And as said, the spring is there just and only for the pretension purpose, no other function. If testing shows inadequate tension, then just to get there, help the spring while tightening the nut.
The belt jump over danger comes (typically on 5 yr old belt) when there is no tension at all, but slack.
