Kia tūpato ki te taraiwa motopaika haumaru, me te whakarite i a koe ki ngā taputapu katoa i mua i te haerenga ki te rori.

He mea e kōrerohia pinepinetia ana te taraiwa haumaru o ngā motopaika. Ina hoki, mō tēnei momo waka "kikokiko kua takaihia ki te rino", he maha rawa ngā āhuatanga kāore i te pumau, kāore hoki i te haumaru, ā, ko ngā karawarawa me ngā tukinga iti ka pā tika ki te oranga me te hauora o te taraiwa. I te mea ka piki haere te maha o ngā hoa e uru mai ana ki te ope pahikara, me whakauru atu e tātou ētahi atu take me aro atu ki te taraiwa haumaru. Kei raro nei ka arotahi mātou ki ngā taputapu e tika ana mō te taraiwa haumaru, me te whakauru i ngā ihirangi e tika ana mō te hoko me te whakamahi i ngā taputapu tiaki motopaika mō ngā kaiwhaiwhai motopaika.
potae motopaikaHe mārama ngā ture whakahaere waka o tōku whenua e potae me mau i te wā e taraiwa ana, e eke ana hoki i ngā motopaika wira-rua, e whakaatu ana i te hiranga o ngā potae ki ngā kaieke motopaika. Ina mau potae ngā kaieke me ngā pāhihi, ka taea e rātou te tiaki pai i te upoko o te tangata. Ahakoa ka puta he aituā waka, ka iti ake te pakaru o te upoko nā te tiakitanga o te potae, ka whakaiti i ngā mate.
Ka wehea ngā potae noa ki ngā potae katoa, ngā potae toru-hauwhā, ngā potae haurua me ngā potae hurihuri-ake. Ko ngā potae katoa he potae he pai te tiaki, engari he ngoikore te manawa. Kei waenganui i ngā potae katoa me ngā potae haurua ngā potae toru-hauwhā, ā, he āhua pai te tiaki me te hauhautanga. Ko te potae hurihuri-ake he momo potae ka taea te whiriwhiri hei potae kanohi-katoa, hei potae toru-hauwhā rānei, ā, he tino haumaru hoki. He rite te potae haurua ki te potae haumaru e whakamahia ana e ngā kaimahi hanga. He iti te wāhi tiaki, ā, ko te tihi anake o te mahunga e tiaki ana. Kāore mātou e tūtohu kia whiriwhiria e ngā taraiwa tēnei momo potae, engari nā te iti o te rahi, te ngāwari ki te kawe, te pai o te manawa me ētahi atu āhuatanga, he maha tonu ngā hoa ka whiriwhiri i tēnei mō te kawe waka i roto i te tāone.
I te hoko i tētahi potae kanohi-katoa mō te motopaika, me whiriwhiri hoki e koe te rahi e pai ana ki a koe. Ko te potae tika me whai rahi āhua rite, me whaiti rānei. Kaua e whiriwhiri i tētahi potae he kotahi te rahi nui ake, ki te kore ka tino heke te tauwehenga haumaru.
Haunga te hoko potae, he mea nui anō hoki ētahi atu pare tinana i te wā e eke motopaika ana, pērā i ngā papa turi, ngā papa tuke, ngā karapu, ngā kākahu eke, me ētahi atu, he mea pai katoa hei tiaki i te haumaru o ngā taraiwa. Ko te kaupapa o te whiriwhiri i ēnei taputapu ehara i te mea kia ātaahua ake te āhua o te kaieke. Ko te kaupapa matua he tiaki i te oranga o te taraiwa. He maha ngā āhuatanga kore pumau i roto i te tukanga eke motopaika. Mō tēnei momo haere mōrearea nui, mā te tango i ngā mahi tiaki whānui anake ka taea te whakaiti i te mōrearea ki te iti rawa, ā, ka taea te whakaiti pai i ngā mate i puta mai i ngā aituā waka. Heoi, ahakoa te maha o ngā taputapu haumaru kua tāutahia, he tiaki tāpiri noa iho ēnei. Ko te taraiwa haumaru, te kore e uta nui rawa, te tere tere rānei, me te whakapai ake i te mōhiotanga haumaru ko ngā pūkenga taraiwa me ako me te matatau e ngā kaieke.
