1. Unplug the stop lamp switch connector.

   1. Loosen the operating rod locknut. Adjust the height of the brake pedal by turning the operating rod using pliers. Once the desired pedal height is obtained, tighten the locknut on the operating rod.
   2. Screw the stop light switch until the it contacts the brake pedal stopper. Turn switch in until the brake pedal just starts to move. At this point, return (loosen) the stoplight switch ¹⁄₂ –1 turn and secure in this position by tightening the locknut.
   3. Connect the electrical connector to the stop light switch.
   4. Check to be sure that the stop lights are not illuminated with no pressure on the brake pedal.
