1.1 FOREWORD

This manual lists the information, the instructions, and
what it is thought necessary for the knowledge, the correct
use, and the ordinary maintenance of the Minitransporter,
model "MECH 35 - MECH 45 - MECH 55" , hereinafter
also called machine or vehicle, manufactured by "FORT
S.r.l Unipersonale" from Sossano (Vicenza), Italy, here-
inafter also referred to as Manufacturer. What is herewith
written is neither a complete description of the several
members nor a detailed explanation of their operation,
but the user may find what is normally useful to know
for a safe use and a correct storage of the machine. The
ordinary operation, the life and the operational economics
of the machine itself depend on the compliance with what
is written in this manual.
WARNING
Failure to comply with what is described in this
manual, the operational carelessness, the improper
use of the machine and the performing of unauthor-
ized modifications, cause the voidance of the machine
warranty by the Manufacturer.
The Manufacturer also declines and shall not be held
responsible for direct and indirect damages caused
by the above-mentioned reasons and by the non-
fulfillment of what is written in this manual.
In case of repairs or overhauls involving particularly dif-
ficult operations, you must contact the authorized Service
Centers that employ skilled personnel or directly the
Manufacturer who is, anyway, at your complete disposal in
order to grant an immediate and careful technical service
and everything necessary for restoring the machine full
efficiency.
DANGER
This manual is an integral part of the machine and
must always be attached to it in case of transfer or
sale. It shall be kept in a safe place known by the
authorized personnel. The personnel shall keep it
integrally so to be able to consult it during the whole
life of the machine itself.
In case it is damaged or lost, you must require a copy
of it to the Manufacturer immediately.

1.2 WARRANTY

The Manufacturer warrants his new manufactured prod-
ucts for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of
purchase.
The engine is warranted in compliance with the terms and
conditions established by the Manufacturer himself.
We suggest checking the integrity of the machine when
you receive it.
Any claim shall be made in writing within 8 (eight) days
after receiving the machine itself.
The warranty includes only the repair or the replacement
free of charge of those parts which, after a careful exami-
nation by the Manufacturer, are found faulty (the electrical
parts and tools are not included).
Any return shall be previously agreed about with the
Manufacturer and shall be shipped ex works. The replace-
ments or the repairs of the parts under warranty shall not,
however, extend the terms of the warranty itself.
The transport costs, the lubricants, the VAT and the
customs duties, if any, shall be to the charge of the
purchaser.
The purchaser shall, anyhow, enforce his claims only if
he has complied with the additional terms concerning the
validity of the warranty listed also in the supply contract.
In case both parties do not intend to submit the disputes
arising our of the supply contract to the arbitrators' judg-
ment, or in any other case, when the judgment of a body
of the ordinary Court is required, only the Court of Vicenza
shall be the competent court.

1.2.1 NO WARRANTY

The warranty shall not be valid (besides what is men-
tioned in the supply contract):
- in case a handling mistake and/or crash attributable to
the operator takes place;
- in case the max. permissible power limit it is exceed-
ed;
- in case the damage is attributable to a poor mainte-
nance;
- in case, further to repairs carried out by the user without
the Manufacturer's permission or in case, due to the
assembly of non-genuine spare parts, the machine
undergoes changes and the damage is attributable to
such changes:
