Greenplugs

Congratulations!  You have taken a step toward a "greener" planet.

Please review the notes and instructions with care prior to installing you new LSG HALO Spark Plugs.   Our instructions provide general overviews and basic insights for product installation. These instructions are not a substitute for your vehicle manuals and are not a substitute for the expert advice that a trained automobile technician can provide.  If you are uncomfortable with any portion of the product documentation, we encourage you to seek additional assistance from a trained automobile technician.

We would like your experience with LSG HALO Spark Plugs to be pleasant.
Thank you.

Because the LSG Halo Spark Plug fires approximately 30% faster than any other plug the warranty will lapse if you fail to follow the following guidelines in installing and operating your plugs:

• LSG Halo spark plugs must be installed as a complete set in your automobile engine. Installation of the plugs in an automobile engine with one or more spark plugs from another manufacturer will void your warranty.


• The warranty does not extend to LSG Halo spark plugs that are installed in vehicles that race or in vehicles that routinely operate at or above 5,000 revolutions per minute.


• LSG Brisk LLC's warranty does not extend to any defects resulting from misuse or modification of the LSG Halo spark plugs or from use other than normal automobile use.


• The warranty only extends to the original installation of the plugs. The warranty will lapse if the Halo spark plugs are removed from one engine and reinstalled in another engine.

Note: If engine light is on then the problem must be fixed before the LSG BRISK Halo Plugs are fitted.

Step 1  Before installation make sure you have the correct type of spark plugs for the engine being serviced.

Note: Do not work on hot or warm engines as this can cause damage.

Step 2  Disconnect both battery wires.

Note: On vehicles equipped with EEC, when the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the EEC processor relearns its adaptive strategy and adjusts timing. The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles or more to relearn the strategy.

Step 3  Mark, tag, or color code the spark plug cables to identify their connection points and insure the cables can be reconnected correctly in Step11.

Step 4  Carefully remove the spark plug cables. Check the cables for damage and replace if necessary.

Step 5  Remove the spark plugs using the correct tools.

Note: Do not remove or install plugs by gripping the insulator with any tool.

Note:See diagram on last page of instructions for replacement plug comparison check.

Step 6  If the plugs require an external gasket (not applicable for taper seat spark plugs), check that there are no gaskets remaining on the cylinder head from the removed plugs.

Step 7  Put a little bit of anti-seize compound on the front two threads of the new plugs before installation.

Note: Anti-seize is needed on aluminum heads to prevent electrolytic action between the steel spark plug body and aluminum head. Do not use too much anti-seize.

Step 8  Install each plug until finger tight.

Note: Spark plugs that are not tight will run hot and can cause serious engine damage. If you cannot seat the spark plug all the way with your fingers, there is probably carbon in the threaded hole in the cylinder head. Take the vehicle to a Master Mechanic to clean the threaded hole. When removing plugs, examine the seat area closely for evidence that the plug was seated all the way in its previous installation. On plugs with gaskets, the gasket should be compressed. With tapered spark plugs, the seat area of the plug should show a "witness mark" (proving that it was seated). Spark plugs that fail because they were loose can have a blown out center electrode or insulator, or the outer shell can be blue.

Step 9  Tighten the spark plugs to the recommended torque for the plugs and engine, by using the correct wrench across the whole length of hexagon of the spark plug metal shell. Table1 below shows the correct torques settings.

Note: Do not remove or install plugs by gripping the insulator with any tool.

Step 10  Apply dielectric grease to each electrode tip before reconnecting the spark plug cables.

Note: This operation will provide a good seal between the plug cable and the electrode tip.

Step 11  Reconnect the spark plug cables to the correct plugs as marked during Step 3.

Step 12  Reconnect the battery cables.
