INSTALLATION

NOTE: Prior to installing the brake lamp switch into
it's bracket, the plunger must be moved to its fully
extended position using the procedure in Step 1.
(1) Hold the brake lamp switch firmly in one hand.
Using your other hand, pull outward on the plunger
of the switch until it has ratcheted out to its fully
extended position.
(2) Connect the wiring harness connector to the
brake lamp switch.
(3) Mount the brake lamp switch into the bracket
as follows: Depress the brake pedal as far down as
possible. Install the switch in it's bracket by aligning
the index key on switch with the notch in the square
mounting hole of the mounting bracket (Fig. 4). Once
the switch is fully seated, rotate the switch clockwise
approximately 30° to lock the switch into the bracket.
CAUTION: Do not use excessive force when pulling
back on the brake pedal to adjust the brake lamp
switch. If to much force is used, damage to the
brake lamp switch or striker can result.
(4) Gently pull back on brake pedal until the pedal
stops moving. This will cause the switch plunger to
ratchet backward to the correct position.
(5) Check for proper operation of the brake lamps
and speed control.
