By "adjust that lever drag...." Do you mean change your drag setting or just tighten it up a little?? If you mean tighten it up a little, push the lever past strike towards full. To back off your drag, pull it back towards free spool.
To change your drag setting, make sure you change that while the reel is in free spool like was already stated. Be sure to set before you start fishing. Dont screw with the knob while your winding in a fish!
Another thing dont set it too tight and shove it into full, you will crush the pinion bearing. If you do you'll know right away.
