It's automatic. "Tensioner" is more like a positive stop for the chain runner, a one way ticket compensating for wear so non-adjustable, it's a roller clutch similar to a pre-engaged starter motor drive or free wheel pinion. If worried that it might be too tight, rotate engine to timing mark, remove cam cover & remove tensioner locking pin; making sure back run of chain is tight by pre-loading crank but not rotating, turn tensioner shaft clockwise, (it will not turn anti clockwise), until you can re-insert the pin. Job done but re-assemble with new gasket or thoroughly clean original gasket & mating faces & use a smear of sealing compound to all faces.
The engine in the Polaris Sportsman 500 is self adjusting. There is no need to adjust the timing chain on the Sportsman 500. If you are hearing the chain slap, it is time to replace the chain, not adjust it.
