Once it starts I pull the belt tight and lock it in a keyhole slot. You can see the bracket in the picture. I'm not happy with the handle sticking out so I am thinking of putting a pin through a yoke so that the handle will lay down against the side when the belt is pulled for tension.
I posted another video of a new tool-less belt tensioner.
