Sounds like you are asking about how tight to adjust your trailer's manual-adjust, electric, drum brakes.

You will adjust the brakes using that wheel until there is a slight but constant drag of the shoe pads on the drum. I have included a link to a video and at about the 4:39 mark our installed begins adjusting the brakes.

You can turn using a flat head screw driver or brake adjusting tool # W80630.
