5. Loosen the pushrod locknut (A), and screw the pushrod in or out with pliers until the standard pedal height from the floor is reached. After
adjustment, tighten the locknut firmly. Do not adjust the pedal height with the pushrod pressed.
6. Brake pedal position switch adjustment: Push in the brake pedal position switch until its plunger is fully pressed (threaded end (A) touching the
pad (B) on the pedal arm). Then, turn the switch 45° clockwise to lock it. The gap between the brake pedal position switch and the pad is
automatically adjusted 0.7 mm (0.03 inch) by locking the switch. Make sure the brake lights go off when the pedal is released.
7. Idle stop switch adjustment: Adjust the idle stop switch (C). Screw in the idle stop switch until its plunger is fully pressed (threaded end (D) is
touching the pad on the pedal arm). Then back off the switch 1/4 turn to make 0.3 mm (0.01 inch) of clearance between the threaded end and the
pad. Tighten the locknut firmly. Connect the idle stop switch connector. When finished, start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating
temperature (the radiator fan comes on), then make sure the engine stops when the brake pedal is pressed.
NOTE:
^
When either the brake pedal position switch or the idle stop switch needs adjusting, both switches must be adjusted together to keep their
functions synchronized. Always adjust the brake pedal position switch first, then adjust the idle stop switch; never adjust the switches
independently.
^
When the brake pedal is released, the brake pedal position switch is normally open and the idle stop switch is normally closed.
8. Check the brake pedal free play.
Pedal Free Play
1. With the engine off, inspect the play (A) on the pedal pad (B) by pushing the brake pedal by hand.
2. If the pedal free play is out of specification, adjust the brake pedal position switch (C) and idle stop switch (D). If the pedal free play is
insufficient, it may result in brake drag.
