INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Install the retainer into the bracket (from the forward side).
2. With the brake or clutch pedal depressed, insert the switch into the retainer until the switch seats on the retainer. You may hear audible "clicks" as the ribbed portion of the switch pushes forward through the retainer.

4. Adjust the switch in the following manner:
4.1. Pull the brake or clutch pedal fully rearward against the pedal stop until you can not hear audible "clicks". The switch moves in the retainer. This movement provides adjustment.
