You don't. If you could change the tension of the belt, the system wouldn't work at all. If it feels like the belt is slipping when you ride, you should check to make sure the belt is in good shape, and if it is, you should check the ramps on the driven clutch. These ramps wear out often, and when the do it will make the unit feel like the belt is slipping when you take off.
