2021 grey wolf : what model are the brakes?

Any idea what type of brakes are on a 2021 grey wolf? I'm looking for this adjusting wheel described in the manual but can't find it. I'm not getting great brake performance yet but maybe it just need to be broken in more? I have the gain set to 10. I noticed when testing only one of the drums was hot the others were just warm

Typically there is a plug on the back side that can be removed to allow access to the star wheel. A picture of the backing plate would help point it out.

Also what truck do you have? My last F150 also had a brake effort setting Low,Med, and High plus the gain settings.

I have a gmc yukon. I've removed those plugs. Just couldn't see the wheel with a flashlight

Another thought is with your gain set at 10, drive at 20/25mph and fully apply the controllers manual lever. Do the tires lock up?

Unless you have Nevr-adjust-brakes, you might not be able to see the wheel

You don't have to. When I worked in the garage (summers 1963-4) and when I worked on my old cars, I rarely looked in the little slot. Just felt around for the wheel with the adjusting spoon. It is easy to tell when you're there. You can feel every detent as you move the spoon.
