I don't know what jurisdiction your air brake endorsement is certified in but in Ontario, Canada you cannot adjust your air brakes unless you are certified to do so. This means either being an air brake mechanic or MTO certified air brake adjuster. It not only is very dangerous to do so it's also illegal.

Can you provide the statute from any jurisdiction that says it is illegal to adjust your own non-commercial air brake slack adjusters?
Quoted from the MTO site :
"Drivers who have a valid Ontario air-brake adjustment certificate are qualified to re-adjust the brakes on vehicles fitted with manual slack adjusters."
Just having the Z (Ontario air brake) endorsement on the driver's license does not qualify it as an adjustment certificate. They are 2 different things here. The adjustment certificate is another wallet sized card.
