    There should be two adjusters...one just behind the handbrake lever under a flap in the centre cubbyhole, and the second pair is on the wheels themselves.
    I believe the correct routine is to take off the wheels, align the holes on the hubs and tighten the rear brakes until the hubs grab. Then back off until the hub spins freely. Then back off a little more.
    Put the wheels back on and make sure they spin freely.

    Then adjust at the handbrake end until the handbrake raises three to five notches to put full on.
