Illegal to do without being certified to work on air brake systems. This site's policies prohibit us from providing such answers.

Your vehicle should have automatic slack adjusters... press the brake pedal all the way down a few times, and they should adjust on their own. That's all you can do legally.

How do you adjust brakes on a kenworth?

The same way you do on a Freightliner, Volvo, Sterling, International, etc. If you don't have the certification, it's illegal for you to do this. Your truck should have automatic slack adjusters... with the truck aired up, press the brake pedal all the way in a couple times. This will cause the automatics to adjust for you. That is all you can legally do as far as brake adjustment goes... anything else is up to a tech.
