Here are the procedures. It is important tat during assembly, the pedal free travel is adjusted correctly.

1. Disconnect brake switch connector. Loosen brake pedal position switch lock nut and back off switch until it comes off.

2. In stall brake pedal position switch and screw in until its plunger is fully pressed (threaded end touching pad on pedal arm). See Fig. 8 . Back off switch 3/4 of a turn to make 0.04" (0.9 mm) of clearance between threaded end and pad. Tighten lock nut firmly. Connect brake pedal position switch connector. Make sure brake lights go off when pedal is released. Check brake pedal free play. See FREE PLAY .

Free Play
With engine off, check brake pedal free play by pushing pedal by hand.
Pedal free play should be 0.06-.19 ins (1-5 mm)

If pedal free play is out of specification, adjust brake switch. See
Fig. 10 .

If pedal free play is insufficient, it may result in brake drag. Push in brake pedal position switch until its plunger is fully pressed then turn brake pedal position switch clockwise to lock it. Make sure brake lights go off when pedal is released.
