There are two bolts through the plate it is mounted to where it attaches to the engine. One on top and one below the pump. You loosen those and use a bar to move the pump and tighten the belt. The belt should deflect approximately 3/8 of an inch when pushed down between the pulleys. Then tighten the bolts to 30 ft lbs.
