Guide for adjusting the "correct" belt tension?
 
Is there any guide anywhere for adjusting the "correct" belt tension for DB01/DB01R/TRF501/TRF511? In other words, how to tell when the tension is correctly set?

Not sure of any guide, but in general you want to run the belts as loose as possible without them slipping/skipping teeth. After you have run quite a few belt cars or even one belt car for a long period of time, you kinda get a feel for where to set the tension from the start or with changing old belts with new belts.

If you can play it like a guitar then it's too tight.
