Significant Technical Input
If you have already released the pin you can either leave it where it is or remove the tensioner, compress it again, and re-install it. Do not release it and then decide to push it into the belt, making the tension even higher. The proper way is to push it into the belt, as in the direction that will tighten the belt, tighten the bolts down and then release the pin.
