They are automatic, well in theory anyway. Undo the bolt off the top, stick a thin straight screwdriver in, and tighten the tensioner a few times. It'll spring back when you release it, and hopefully settle in a quieter spot. You can remove the tensioner and bung some lube in if you like, but it's tricky to re-fit the tensioner if you don't have the proper key or some sort of replica of it.

The insides can get rusty if the bike's been laid up for a while:

In which case you can open, clean and lube... or just buy a new one. Then new one will come with the adjuster key. About £35 from David Silver, IIRC.
