Expert Reply:
Turning the wheel so that the teeth on the wheel move upward will expand the brake shoes against the inside of the brake drums. Moving the teeth downward will contract the brake shoes.
You can see the adjustment procedure by clicking on the video link I've provided. Simply fast forward to the 4:24 minute mark.
