The idea is that the switch not prevent the mastercylinder piston from
freely returning to its proper position. If you screw the switch in too far,
you can prevent the residual pressure in the brake lines from releasing and
have to ask the list why your brakes are always on. Both Haynes and Bentley
illustrate this adjustment in their manuals.
