Hire some Secret Service agents, or, preferably, some armed helicopters from the National Guard...
No, seriously, you could probably tie it down with string and encase the governor side of the motor with a piece of heavy cardboard. You will have the brakes on, I hope, and the brake should keep it from moving.
With that long brake lever on the Edison motor, make sure that you keep the whole thing protected in cardboard and newspaper.
