Yeah, the owners manual should guide you pretty much step by step. I think in general you want to have about .5-1" of slack (distance you can move it up and down) anywhere on the chain.

It's pretty easy bro. Just loosen the axle nut, then adjust the bolts on each side so that the little marks match up, then tighten the axle nut again.
