Brake Pedal Assy: Adjustments

1. Disconnect the brake switch connector, loosen the brake switch locknut and back off the brake switch until it is no longer touching the brake pedal.

Pedal Height Measurement:

Brake Pedal Pushrod Adjustment:

3. Loosen pushrod locknut and screw pushrod in or out with pliers until the standard pedal height from the floor is reached. After adjustment, tighten locknut firmly.

CAUTION: Check that the brake lights go off when the pedal is released.
