Make sure the teeth on the chain are facing towards the front end of the chain bar on the top and away from the front end on the bottom.
9
Loop the chain on the drive sprocket as you align the chain bar on the mounting bolts.
10
To replace the cover, the chain tensioner will need to be inserted into the hole in the chain bar.
11
You will probably need to rotate the tension adjustment screw counter-clockwise to properly align the tensioner.

With the cover in place, hand-tighten the nut.
13
Now rotate the adjustment screw clockwise until there is no slack in the chain.
