has illustrations and instructions on how to unlock the head positioner.
EK-TSV05-IN-001_TSV05_Installation_Guide_Sep82.pdf shows how a TS05
tape drive may be access to pad the motors and other bits (if that is what you have).
If you leave the large bits in the rack, don?t trust the normal slide latches to
secure them. I would separately bolt the 11/34 and RL drives chassis
to the rack (from the back) or place a retaining straps around things to
minimize vibration or chance the unit will start to slide.

any precautions I can take to make sure this all
gets back in one
piece? Especially in relation to the RL drives
Other people have covered most of this; my additional advice is to download
the RL01/RL02 manual, and read it thoroughly. It covers the process on how to
open an un-powered RL0x drive (it's not obvious/trivial), and how to lock the
heads for moving the drive.
From: Jerome H. Fine
make sure that a fast (emergency?) stop does not
shift the load.
True; stack all the stuff along the front wall of the truck enclosure, and
use shipping straps, etc, liberally.
