Does anyone know how to properly adjust the hill holder? (EA82)

[Nunyabis12]

Is there an easy way to adjust it or do I just have to sit on a hill and play it by feel?

What’s it doing or not doing?

The cable is just completely loose and almost detached because the guy who owned it before me was too lazy to put in the effort

At the hill holder unit is there a stubby thick wire spring on the lever that cable would pull ? Maybe he took the spring off and didn’t really secure the lever and that lever has worked its way back?

The spring is still on and the lever actuates brakes still, the cable on the clutch fork is just completely loosened though

Set the clutch and allow 1/8” play to the hill holder engagement is how I recall that adjustment. But it’s been about a decade since I’ve owned one. 
 

If nobody else chimes in I’ll look it up in the manual. 
 

Or did you lose the nuts at the threaded end?

No I was just wondering if anyone knew how to adjust it properly because I assumed doing it on a hill is the wrong way
