Turn it clock wise, if you do it the other way it will rub thermostat housing.

Anti-clockwise I think m8
Try it and find out,sure if you do it clockwise it lowers the belt,which makes it touch thermostat housing
Anti-clockwise lifts the belt up into a vertical position,so the belt clears thermostat housing
