Parking Brake adjustment?

The parking brake will not release when I pull the release lever. Is there a way to adjust it? I'm a self taught mechanic, any help is appreciated. Thank You!

If it doesn't release check the tension of the adjustment. The little cover next to the brake fluid cover. If it's not releasing when lever is pulled to release, then you can lube it as well. If many hors on the machine, then replace the assembly.
