what precautions are called for when moving an RM03 ?

Off hand, consider:

1. Don't jar them, as they are bound to be sensitive to
   shock.

2. Ensure that the heads are parked, and if there is such
   a mechanism, that they are fixed into position with
   some sort of clamp or bolt.

3. Take some care to ensure that they are not subjected to
   dust exposure. Likewise for liquids. Sure, you can
   clean them later, and you will need to do so but, there
   is no point to taking a chance on additional exposure.
