If just doing a simple clutch fluid flush for maintenance with one person pumping the pedal and another opening/closing the bleed screw then you don't need to adjust AFP first since there shouldn't be any trapped air you need out.
That note Is mostly just for guys or shops who installed the pedal along with a new clutch, CSC, clutch line or MC at the same time which is quite common.
Ryan, I'm glad you pointed the cruise control switch adjustment out. From what you are saying it looks like when I adjusted my switch I may have set it incorrectly. While I was trying to flush the clutch fluid I could not get any flow through the system until I set the AFP to zero. Then it pumped the fluid like it was supposed to. Back when I did my first test drive the cruise control would not engage so I set the switch so that the rubber pad was touching the metal part of the switch which may have been a little too much. I'll go back through the switch adjustment again.

Thanks for your helpful advise!
