NGĀ MŌHIO WHAKAMAHARA

Kāore he whakahokinga utu mō ngā Waka Hiko me ngā Hua a Tara i tēnei wā.

Ka tukuna he whakahokinga ina whakatauhia e te kaihanga, e te CPSC me/ranei e te NHTSA he mōrearea haumaru koretake te hanga a te waka, taputapu, nohoanga motuka, potae rānei, he kore rānei e tutuki i ngā paerewa haumaru iti rawa. Me whakatika e ngā kaihanga te raruraru mā te whakatika, te whakakapi, te tuku whakahoki moni, te hoko anō rānei i te waka i ētahi wā onge. E whakamārama ana te Ture Haumaru Waka Motuka o te United States (Taitara 49, Upoko 301) i te haumaru waka hei "te mahi a te waka, taputapu waka rānei i roto i te huarahi e tiaki ana i te marea mai i te mōrearea koretake o ngā aituā e puta mai ana nā te hoahoa, te hanganga, te mahi rānei o te waka, me te tūponotanga koretake o te mate, te whara rānei i roto i te aituā, ā, kei roto ko te haumaru kore mahi o te waka." Kei roto i te hapa "tetahi hapa i roto i te mahi, te hanganga, te wāhanga, te rauemi rānei o te waka, o te taputapu waka rānei." I te nuinga o te wā, ka tautuhia te hapa haumaru hei raruraru kei roto i te waka, i te taputapu waka rānei e tūpono ana ki te haumaru o te waka, ā, tera pea kei roto i te rōpū waka o te hoahoa kotahi, o te hanga rānei, o ngā taputapu rānei o te momo kotahi me te hanga.

Ina whakahokia mai tō waka, taputapu, nohoanga motuka, potae rānei, kua kitea he hapa haumaru e pā ana ki a koe. Ka aroturukihia e te NHTSA ia whakahokinga haumaru kia tino whiwhi ngā rangatira i ngā rongoā haumaru, kore utu, me te whai hua mai i ngā kaihanga e ai ki te Ture Haumaru me ngā ture ā-Motu. Mena he whakahokinga haumaru, ka whakatikahia e tō kaihanga te raruraru, kore utu.

Mena kua rēhitatia tō waka, ka whakamōhiotia koe e tō kaihanga mēnā he whakahokinga mai mō te haumaru mā te tuku reta ki a koe. Me mahi i tāu mahi, me te whakarite kia hou tonu te rēhitatanga o tō waka, tae atu ki tō wāhitau mēra o nāianei.

Ina whiwhi koe i tētahi whakamōhiotanga, whai i ngā aratohu haumaru wā poto e whakaratohia ana e te kaihanga, ka whakapā atu ki tō kaihokohoko ā-rohe. Ahakoa kua whiwhi koe i tētahi whakamōhiotanga whakahoki waka, kei raro rānei i tētahi kaupapa whakapai ake haumaru, he mea tino nui kia toro atu koe ki tō kaihokohoko kia whakatikatikaina te waka. Ka whakatikahia e te kaihokohoko te wāhanga, te wāhanga rānei o tō waka kua whakahokia mai, mō te kore utu. Mena ka whakakahore te kaihokohoko ki te whakatika i tō waka i runga anō i te reta whakahoki waka, me whakamōhio tonu koe ki te kaihanga.
