NOTE:
Do not service the brake pedal or brake booster without first removing the stoplamp switch and speed control deactivator switch. These switches must be removed with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. Switch plungers must be compressed for the switch to rotate in the bracket. Attempting to remove the switch when the plunger is extended (during pedal apply) will result in damage to the switch.
NOTE:
The booster push rod clevis locking pin is a one-time use only part. Any time the booster push rod clevis locking pin is removed, a new booster push rod clevis locking pin should be used.
NOTE:
Remove the clevis locking pin by squeezing the locking tabs and pulling outward on the opposite end.
NOTE:
Do not press, pull or otherwise move the brake pedal while installing the stoplamp switch or the speed control deactivator switch. These switches must be installed with the booster push rod attached to the brake pedal and with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. Installing these switches with the brake pedal in any other position will result in incorrect adjustment and may damage the switches.
