When the installation is complete, verify that the

movement of the brake pedal — the brake pedal will not
retract fully.
If the brake pedal does not retract fully, the brakes
will be applied continuously, which may cause severe
tire and/or brake system damage, as well as other con-
sequential, non-warranty damage.
