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
Motor hoe, model «180» e model «EXPLORER»,
hereinafter also called machine or vehicle, manufac-
tured by «FORT» from Sossano (Vicenza), Italy, here-
inafter also referred to as Manufacturer.
What is herewith written is neither a complete de-
scription of the several members nor a detailed ex-
planation 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 opera-
tion, 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 ma-
chine 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
difficult operations, you must contact the authorized
Service Centers that employ skilled personnel or di-
rectly the Manufacturer who is, anyway, at your com-
plete disposal in order to grant an immediate and care-
ful technical service and everything necessary for re-
storing the machine full efficiency.
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.

DANGER
SECTION 1
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
products 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 him-
self.
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 replace-
ment free of charge of those parts which, after a care-
ful examination 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 replacements 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 concern-
ing the validity of the warranty listed also in the sup-
ply contract.
In case both parties do not intend to submit the dis-
putes arising our of the supply contract to the arbi-
trators' judgment, or in any other case, when the judg-
ment of a body of the ordinary Court is required, only
the Court of Vicenza shall be the competent court.

mentioned in the supply contract):
- in case a handling mistake and/or crash attribut-
able to the operator takes place;
- in case the max. permissible power limit it is ex-
