Drum brake question

I'm having trouble getting my e-brake to work. I have followed the procedures in the service book and I think that I need to do some further adjusting to the shoes/drums. Can anyone advise which way to turn the adjuster to spread the shoes, up or down? My book (pdf) didn't specify. Also, how much tension should there be on the drum? Should the wheel spin freely or should it drag just a bit? Sorry, first experience with drum brakes. The shoes were good when I bought the truck. Seems like they have worn a little over the past year.
