the emergency brakes are drum type brakes inside the rear brake disk on each wheel.if you know how o adjust drum brakes it is the same adjustment for emergency brake on this vehicle. on the back of the drum there is a small rubber cap. remove this cap and with a flat screwdriver or adjuster tool, you turn the the serated wheel inside the brake drum to adjust the brake shoes out till nearly touching the brake drum it is best to do this with the rear wheels jacked up off the ground, so you can spin the wheel while adjusting. by spinning wheel you will feel when brake shoe is starting to slow wheel and you will then know to stop adjusting. do this on both wheels if you over adjust you will burn brakes out and have to replace brake shoes. this is a pain as you have to remove the disk brake caliper and rotoar to get at the emergency brake

You have to adjust the rear brakes, after you adjust the rear brakes the slack will almost be gone and you'll find the brake lever will grab almost at once. The cable going to the brake lever can be adjusted with a 10mm socket, but adjust your rear brakes first, the remaining slack then will be taken out by tightening the cable.This adjustment is located under the rubber cover, covering the bottom of the brake lever.
