E mōhio ana tātou katoa ki te hiranga o te potae ki te motuka, engari mō te potae, i mōhio koe he iti noa ihotakirere potaehe mahi nui anō hoki tāna?
Ko te mahi a te takirere he pupuhi me te whakaiti i te hau o tētahi wāhanga iti o te potae, me te pupuri i te hiri i muri i te pupuhitanga o te potae. E toru ngā wāhanga matua o te takirere noa: te tinana takirere, te matua takirere me te taupoki takirere. Kei raro nei ka hoatu he whakataki taipitopito ki a koe mō te takirere potae motuka.
1. Wehewehea mā te kaupapa: takirere pahikara, motopaika, takirere waka hiko, takirere waka, takirere taraka pahi, takirere waka miihini ahuwhenua, takirere motuhake, me ētahi atu.
2. E ai ki te mea he ngongo, kāore rānei: ko te takirere ngongo, ko te takirere ngongo me te takirere kore ngongo, ko te takirere kore ngongo.
3. E ai ki te tikanga huihuinga: te takirere whānui kua whakapikohia,Takirere whakapirimetakirere whakauru.
4. E ai ki te rahi o te kōhao matua: te takirere rūma matua noa me te takirere rūma matua nui.
Ko te tinana takirere (turanga) anake te huarahi e uru ai te hau ki roto i te potae, ā, i te wā kotahi ka whakauru me te tiaki i te matua takirere; e mōhiotia ana te nati whakapiri mai i te ingoa, ā, ko tana mahi he whakau ake i te takirere me te awhi; e rua, ka honoa ngā gaskets o ngā rauemi rerekē ki te nati whakapiri; ko te gasket hiri rapa te mahi hei hiri me te ārai i te turuturu o te hau i te taha o roto o te awhi; ka taea e te taupoki takirere e ngaro ana te aukati i te urunga mai o ngā mea ke ki te takirere, ā, i te wā kotahi ka tutuki te hiri tuarua o te takirere; ā, ko te mahi a te matua takirere he ārai i te turuturu o te hau me te whakarite kia maeneene te werohanga o te hau ki roto i te potae.
Ka taea te wehewehe i ngā tikanga huihuinga takirere ki te momo whakakā-wiri, te momo pēhi me te momo whakapūmau. Hei tauira, ko te huihuinga o te takirere rapa he momo whakapūmau, ā, kei te turanga takirere he mokowā kāri hei whakapiri ki te awhi, ka taea hoki te whakamahi kotahi, ā, ina tangohia, kāore e taea te whakamahi anō. Ka whakamahia e te takirere whakarewa he huihuinga whakapūmau, e whakamahi ana i ngā hiri me ngā nati whakapiri hei whakapiri i te takirere, ā, ka taea te whakamahi anō i muri i te wetewete.
