Yes.
If there is enough play in the shoes to advance the adjuster nut, each time you pull the lever it should move one click.
Usually it's easier and more effective to pop out the rubber inspection hole cover on the drum backing plate and manually turn the adjuster nut with a screwdriver until the shoes just start to drag.
If you adjust it too tight, it's a little trickier (but still easy to accomplish) to use two screwdrivers through the inspection hole to disengage the ratchet arm and then loosen the adjust nut.
