Malu ʻo e misini ʻuhila mo e kāponi monokisaiti¶

ʻOku tāmateʻi ʻe he kona ʻi he kāponi monokisaiti mei he ngaahi misini ʻuhila ʻa e kakai hili ʻa e ngaahi afā mo e taifuni ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē. ʻOku ʻikai ha nanamu, ʻikai ha lanu, pea ʻikai ha ifo ʻo e kasa ko ʻeni, pea ʻe lava ke ne tāmateʻi ha fāmili kotoa lolotonga ʻenau mohe. ʻOku tala atu ʻe he peesi ko ʻeni ʻa e feituʻu ke tuku ai ha misini ʻuhila, founga ke ʻiloʻi ai ʻa e kona ʻi he kāponi monokisaiti, mo e founga ke fakafonu lolo mo fakahoko ha misini ʻuhila taʻe kamata ha afi pe fakalavea ha tokotaha ngāue ʻi he laine ʻuhila.

Kapau te ke fai pē ha meʻa ʻe tolu¶

1. Fakalele pē ʻa e misini ʻuhila ʻi tuʻa, mita ʻe 6 (fute ʻe 20) ʻi he siʻi taha mei ha matapā sioʻata, matapā, pe ava ʻea, pea ʻoku fakahanga ʻa e ʻahu ʻo e misini ke mamaʻo mei he ʻapi kotoa pē.
2. Tuku ha meʻa fakaongo kāponi monokisaiti ʻoku ngāue ʻaki ha pateli ofi ki he feituʻu mohe kotoa pē kimuʻa pea ke fakamoʻui ia.
3. ʻOua naʻa ke teitei fokotuʻu ha misini ʻuhila ki ha hūʻanga ʻuhila ʻi he holisi. Fokotuʻu ʻa e ngaahi meʻangāue ki he misini ʻuhila ʻaki ha ngaahi uaea fakalōloa ki tuʻa.

Feituʻu ke tuku ai ʻa e misini ʻuhila¶

Ko e mita ʻe ono (fute ʻe 20) mei he fale ko e siʻi taha ia. ʻOku lelei ange ke mamaʻo ange kapau ʻe lava ʻe hoʻo ngaahi uaea.

• Tuku ia ʻi ha kelekele lafalafa, mōmoa mo ʻatā ʻe ʻikai tō ai, pea ʻe ʻikai aʻu ki ai ʻa e ʻuha mo e vai lōmaki.
