baby if it is just the adjustment try your owners manual for instructions on adjusting. Bear in mind you can destroy the self adjusters if this is done improperly. When you pull the brake button out it removes air pressure from the brake and a spring will set the brake. Oh by the way welcome to IRV2.com.
PS It's only about a 10 minute job to adjust but a better question is why did the slack ajusters not work automatically. Maybe its time for a mechanic?
