Engines - Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 Operation Manual

ENGINES

SPACE has two independent engines, one in each hull. Therefore, there are two engine instrument panels on the
helm, two throttle levers and two exhausts. Each engine can thus be operated individually. If both machines work with
the same force, then both throttle levers are operated from a single source.
However, it is also possible to let one motor run backwards and the other motor forward. The boat will then turn on the
stand. In port maneuvers, the rudder system is not needed, it works exclusively with the two engines. In order to avoid
rudder damage, please always hold or fix the steering wheel during harbor maneuvers.
Starting procedure: Make sure that the neutral is engaged (throttle in the middle). Switch the engine panel to ON
and press START. It has to inject water from the respective exhaust. When switching off, press the "Stop" button on the
control panel.

G Fuel gauge (at the navigation area inside – only one as both engines remove from the same fuel tank)
Every time you start, check that water is spouting out of the respective exhaust.
If no water comes, immediately switch off the engine! Otherwise, immediate engine
damage threatens! (Indicates defective impeller)
In port maneuvers without steering wheel always fix the wheel.
Otherwise rudder damage may occur!
