From the odd question vault - How do I carry a dob?

Now that I have finally received my telescope and assembled it and had a play (more on that later) it occured to me that there must be a correct way of carrying the thing. It's a 10" SkyWatcher dob which weighs about 25Kg but only comes with 1 handle low down on the front of the mount. I don't really want to grab the tube for fear of putting strain on the secondary mirror mounts. I'm part gorilla ( so my wife says, but she may be just having a go at my back hair), so the weight isn't a problem, I just need to know where to grab. Any thoughts?
