They adjust the same as any others.
Check very carefully for interference between a pushrod and something else; check especially closely at the inside of the guide plate slots. You may find that one or more pushrods are getting forced up out of their seats in the rockers.
If they seem to be backing off, when you adjust them, turn the nut and the lock screw together to tighten everything fully. You may not be getting the lock screw tight enough by itself with its allen wrench.

I always follow the camshaft maker;s recommended preload. The ramps of some cams, especially rollers, are ao aggressive they won't tolerate 1/4 or sometimes even 1/2 turn preload without clicking.
I'll email you the step by step procedure I use to preload my lifters.
