Dainty hands?  ;-)
Lift the cover off the housing; hold and turn dynamo pulley clockwise.  It may
need some increase in the tension by deflecting the belt, but it tightens the
underneath anyway.

Done it many times - never yet been bitten (even by the Beetle) - just keep the
fingers on the outside edge.  I even use my left hand, which isn't as strong as
my right.  I always knew I was different.  ;-)

BTW, it seems amazing to me that H&S didn't require the Beetle engine to have a
guard as a normal fitment - it's quite a hazard making the finer engine
adjustments.
