BRAKE PEDAL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
- The clearance between the brake switch and the brake pedal of MTX vehicles is automatically adjusted to the correct amount when the brake switch is inserted into the installation hole on the brake pedal and rotated to fix it in place. If the brake switch is not properly installed, the clearance may be incorrect, causing a brake light malfunction.Therefore, always verify that the brake pedal is properly installed and fully released before installing the brake switch to the pedal.
- The clearance between the brake switch and the brake pedal of ATX vehicles is automatically adjusted to the correct amount when the connector is connected after the brake switch has been properly installed.

- Once the brake switch clearance has automatically been adjusted, it cannot be adjusted again. Therefore, always replace the brake switch with a new one when replacing the power brake unit or the pedal, or when performing any procedure that changes the pedal stroke.
