Similar arrangement to that provided for alternator adjustment, but it's best accessed from underneath.

there is an adjusting bar with teeth on it , loosen the nut which clamps the pump to this and it will adjust, then to tension the belt turn the adjuster nut to corrct tension then tighten clamping nut again, sounds harder than it is
