Thanks for the write-up, and I apologize that I actually made you write up more than what I was looking for. That's my fault, I wasn't clear that it was just the handle adjustment part I was looking for. The part about adjusting at the brakes I was able to accomplish with a video I found.

Let me ask this about the handle... my handle goes all the way to the floor. It seems to operate fine; when I start to pull up, it clicks twice, then starts to hold, and by four clicks the brakes are completely locked. I believe I can pull it up one more click after that. So the operating range seems fine to me, but it's position seems wrong. Is it normal for the tip of the handle, where the button is, to be resting on the floor at its lowest position?

This makes it slightly difficult to disengage the parking brake, because I can't grip all the way around the handle when pushing it down to the floor, or my fingers would get stuck between the floor and handle. I have to grip the sides of the handle without actually wrapping my fingers around it, while also managing to push and hold the release button in.
