THE BIG DON'T is OVER TIGHTEN   slapping stinks true as it is .. but over tight will just eat into the plastic cut a groove and then the primary is coming off.    While it is not hard to adjust it, I would not touch it unless your certain you understand the tolerances and where to measure them from.

 [smiley=oops.gif]  I thought he was talking about primary tensioners - sorry about that.  To quote Dan Quale, "a mind is a terrible thing to lose".  I'm going to have to tie a string to that sucker.
