Horoia pinepine. Ko te tikanga, me horoi kotahi i te wiki. Whakamahia he miro miro, he kakahu ngohengohe rānei hei horoi i te puehu, ka tāpirihia he hinu whakawhiti, he hinu rānei hei horoi. Ki te pā mai he ua, he pupuhi rānei, me horoi ki te wai i te wā tika, whakamarokehia, ka tāpirihia he hinu anō.

Kaua e tere rawa te eke pahikara. I te nuinga o te wā, ka hiki ake ngā wira tere i te kirikiri i runga i te whenua, ka pā kino ki te awhi, ka pakaru hoki te awhi. Ko te nuinga o te wā ka puta ngā kōhao waikura nui i te awhi nā tēnei take.

(2) Me pēhea te whakaroa i te ora o ngā potae pahikara takai?

He teitei te nuinga o te mata o te rori i waenganui, he iti hoki i ngā taha e rua. Mēnā kei te taraiwa koe i tētahi pahikara piko, me noho koe ki te taha matau. Nā te mea he maha ngā wā ka tawhito ake te taha maui o te potae i te taha matau. I taua wā anō, nā te pokapū taumaha o muri, ka tere ake te tawhito o ngā wira o muri i ngā wira o mua. Mēnā ka whakamahia ngā potae hou mō tētahi wā, ka whakakapia ngā potae o mua me muri, ā, ka hurihia te taha maui me te taha matau, ka roa ake te ora o ngā potae.

(3) Me pēhea te tiaki i ngā potae pahikara takai?

He pai te ātete o ngā potae pahikara takai, ā, ka taea te tu atu ki ngā kawenga nui. Heoi, ki te whakamahia hē, ka tere ake te pakaru, te ngatata, te pahū me ētahi atu āhuatanga. I te nuinga o te wā, me aro koe ki ēnei āhuatanga ina whakamahi ana i te pahikara takai:

Pupuhihia ki te nui e tika ana. Ko te pōturi o te potae nā te korenga o te pupuhi o roto, ehara i te mea ka whakanui ake i te ātete me te mahi uaua o te pahikara anake, engari ka whakanui ake hoki i te wāhi waku i waenga i te potae me te whenua, ka tere ake te pakaru me te pakaru o te potae. Ko te nui o te pupuhi, me te whānui haere o te hau i roto i te potae i te rā, ka ngāwari te motu o te taura o te potae, ka whakapoto i te roa o te mahi. Nō reira, me taurite te nui o te hau, kia nui i te makariri, kia iti iho i te raumati; kia iti iho te hau i roto i te wira o mua, kia nui ake te hau i roto i te wira o muri.

Kaua e utaina rawa. Kua tohua te taha o ia potae ki tōna kaha kawe mōrahi. Hei tauira, ko te kaha kawenga mōrahi o ngā potae noa he 100 kg, ā, ko te kaha kawenga mōrahi o ngā potae taumaha he 150 kg. Ka wehea te taumaha o te pahikara takai me te taumaha o te motuka ki ngā potae o mua me muri. Ko te wira o mua he 1/3 o te taumaha katoa, ā, ko te wira o muri he 2/3. Ko te kawenga i runga i te whakairi o muri e pēhia ana ki runga i te potae o muri, ā, he taumaha rawa te taumaha, ka nui ake te waku i waenga i te potae me te whenua, inā koa he angiangi ake te matotoru o te rapa o te pakitara taha i te karauna o te potae (tauira), ka ngawari te angiangi i raro i te kawenga taumaha. I puta mai he haehae, ka pahū i te pakihiwi.
