place it on the floor. Unlock the wheels on the bottom of JB-99RT and roll
the unit into its place.
1.2 When transporting the unit without its wooden crate, it is best to do so in its
upright position. If a height restriction does not allow the upright
positioning, then lay down the unit on its backside, preferably on top of a
soft carpet for easy sliding and protection. Then use cushions on both ends
of the unit to balance with the steel handle on the backside.

bolts that came in the side pocket of JB-99RT.

onto the steel plate on the top of JB-99RT.
o Insert the power cord of the TV into the circular hole on the top of the JB-

compartment while being transported. If so, place the multi-outlet into its position
on the floor of the bottom compartment and lock it into position by sliding it
