  2. Manual adjustment is required if shoes have been removed and reinstalled. Brake shoes can be manually adjusted by rotating adjuster screw. Remove access slot cover.
  3. Using a small blade screwdriver, push in on adjustment lever to separate from adjustment screw. Turn adjustment screw until brake drum is locked tight. Back screw off until wheel rotates freely. If brake drum is to be removed, back off adjustment screw several notches for adequate clearance.
