Njengoba okuwukuphela kwengxenye yemoto ethintana nomhlabathi, ukubaluleka kwamathayi ekuphepheni kwemoto kuyabonakala. Ukuze isondo, ngaphezu komqhele, ungqimba lwebhande, ungqimba lwamakhethini, kanye nomugqa wangaphakathi ukuze kwakhiwe isakhiwo esiqinile sangaphakathi, ingabe wake wacabanga ukuthi i-valve ethobekile nayo idlala indima ebalulekile ekuphepheni kokushayela?

Ekusetshenzisweni kwansuku zonke, njengabanikazi bezimoto, ngokungangabazeki sidinga ukunaka ngokukhethekile ukuvuza komoya okunensayo okubangelwa ukuvala ama-valve okwanele. Uma ukuvuza komoya okuhamba kancane kwe-valve kunganakwa, ngeke nje kwandise ukuguga kwesondo nokusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli wemoto, kodwa kubangele ngisho nokuvela kwesondo eliphantshile. Kusukela kulo mbono, ukuhlolwa okuvamile kwansuku zonke kwe-valve akufanele kunganakwa.

Kuyindlela elula nesebenzayo yokuhlola ukucinana komoya ngokuthela amanzi kuvalvu ukubona ukuthi akhona yini amabhamuza. Uma ukuqhekeka kofudu kutholakala emzimbeni we-valve we-valve yenjoloba, kufanele kushintshwe ngesikhathi. Lapho i-valve yensimbi ivuza, umsindo othi “pop” uzoba sobala kakhulu, futhi umnikazi angahlulela ukuthi ingabe ivalvu iyavuza. Njengoba umfutho wesondo wesondo uzoguquguquka emuva naphambili ngokushintsha kwezinga lokushisa, sincoma ukuthi umfutho wesondo uhlolwe njalo ngenyanga, futhi singabheka i-valve ngendlela.

Ngaphezu kokuhlolwa okuvamile, kufanele futhi unake ukuthi i-valve cap ilahlekile yini ekusetshenzisweni kwansuku zonke kwemoto, qaphela imihuzuko engase ilethwe ihlombe lomgwaqo ku-valve, futhi unake ukuthi uchwepheshe umake ichashazi eliphuzi odongeni lwesondo ngokuma kwechashazi eliphuzi odongeni lwesondo lapho ushintsha isondo. I-valve iqondaniswe ukwenza ikhwalithi iyonke yesondo ilingane. (Uphawu oluphuzi ohlangothini oluseceleni lumelela indawo elula kakhulu ethangeni)
