should be auto. Theres a spring that pushes on it. If it starts to rattle you can help it along with a screwdriver if needs be but it should do it itself!

as taggy said it adjusts it's self
see part number 8 on this list, the little knob on the end is spring loaded on a ratchet type affair and once it's adjusted in it won't come out again unless you take it out and put it back

So basically - if it isn't rattling don't fix it ;)
