Adjusting switch if pedal travel is too small: Notes

There are two possibilities to adjust the switch if the pedal travel to the switching point is too small.

1st possibility: 

  1. Press the brake pedal and pull out the switch plunger.
  2. Release the pedal.
  3. Check adjustment.

2nd possibility: 

NOTE:
  • A play-free fit of the switch is no longer ensured after it has been installed and removed several times. The switch must be replaced by a new switch as soon as it perceptibly "wobbles" in its receiver.
  • When installing the switch for the first time, it is essential to press it vertically against the bearing surface. It will otherwise not be possible to lock the switch (90° turn), even if great force is exerted.
  1. Release switch by turning it 90° and pull it out of the installation opening.
  2. Pull operating plunger out of the switch as far as it will go.
  3. Reinstall the switch.
