There is a 10 mm nut that you turn. Do this a little at a time though. Tighten pull the brake, tighten pull it again.

It should click no more than 5 to 6 times when done. Any less and your brake pads could drag, less and you might not pull it enough and they might not engage fully.

i agree, the adjustment is there under the arm rest. perhaps located on the ebrake itself iirc.
