It should be very simple thing to do, if it's anything like the new bikes there's a shoe under the chain on the bottom side of the Primary. The shoe is on a threaded rod locked with a lock nut, the shoe moves up and down, you simply loosen the nut and turn the rod clockwise to tighten the shoe against the chain, check the free play, and lock the lock nut.
this is the spec for verticle free play measured at the inspection window.
