  The procedure should be in your Operator's Manual.

Jack up all 4 wheels and support them with jack stands.
Make sure that the emergency brake is full y released
Turn the front cam at each wheel CCW while looking at the wheel (wrench end towards tire, push down) until the wheel cannot be turned by hand.
Back off the adjustment until the wheel turns freely
Repeat the operation for the back shoe, turning the cam CW (wrench end towards tire, push down)

Repeat at the other 3 wheels. Adjust the emergency brake with the turnbuckle on the drive shaft.
