4. Mount the transporter.
a. With one hand supporting the weight of the transporter from
underneath and your other hand grasping the front of the transporter
to stabilize it, orient the transporter with the mounting hooks toward
the mounting bracket on the VAX column.
b. Lift the transporter into the library and slide the mounting hooks on
the back of the transporter into the slots on the mounting bracket on
the VAX column (refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 on page 21 for the
location of the hooks and slots).
c. While stabilizing the transporter with one hand, gently pull the
bottom of the transporter away from the VAX column to confirm
that the transporter mounting hooks are securely seated in the slots
on the mounting bracket.
Do not use the cartridge picking mechanism or the front of the transporter as a
handle. They are not designed to support the weight of the transporter.
Be careful not to bump the VAX column, VAX motor, or the components on the
PC card mounted in the bottom front of the chassis.

the transporter hooks from the mounting bracket and then repeat Step b.
