The process is referenced in the calibration portion of the manual here:
But then it references a forum thread with a bunch of opinion based chatter about what the right tension spec mighr actually be
As far as how to do it, the fish/luggage scale method is probably the most accurate…
Make sure you also check and if needed adjust the vwheels as shown in the manual as well.

If you pull up on your belt in the center you want about 1" of slack. To tight will break your belt.
Like Seth mentioned about check you V wheel eccentric nuts and make sure the V wheels are tight.
Not to tight you should still be able to spin them with two fingers.
Can you wiggle your router? Up and down or side to side?
