On chain slack , Since the rear sprockets are not necessarily concentric I would rotate the rear wheel while checking the chain slack and stop where it is tightest then adjust it at that point to have 3/8" ( book states 0.2-0.6" or 5-15mm) slack from top to bottom at the middle of the chain span. I would mark the rear sprocket with a dot of paint from a paint pen as a reference mark for future adjustments.
