Description and specications of the
machine
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 and EXPLORER», hereinaf-
ter also called machine or vehicle, manufactured by
«FORT» from Sossano (Vicenza), Italy, hereinafter
also referred to as Manufacturer.
What is herewith written is neither a complete descrip-
tion of the several members nor a detailed explana-
tion of their operation, but the user may nd 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 unau-
thorized modications, 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-fulllment of what is written in this manual.
In case of repairs or overhauls involving particularly
difcult 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 efciency.
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
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
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 replace-
ment free of charge of those parts which, after a
careful 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
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’ judgment, 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

mentioned 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 ex-
ceeded;

tenance;
