Adjustment
5. Check and, if necessary, adjust the brake pedal height (see chapter 1).
6. Loosen the switch lock nut and adjust the switch position so that the distance the plunger protrudes is within the range specified in Specifications at the beginning of this chapter (Fig. 12.6). (If you are unable to measure this distance, adjust the plunger so that it lightly contacts the pedal stop.) Tighten the lock nut.
