Moving drink machines

[cashman]

I purchased a couple of drink machines ( older machines, late 80s) Dixies my question is... Can I lay these down for moving them ( on their side) I know not to plug them in for 24 hours after moving them but anything other concerns ? Please let me know if this is a big no no.

Thanks.

Not the recommended method but should be ok if you let them sit for a while before plugging in.

if there older prob best not to lay them down

if you do lay it down make sure the refrigeration deck is bolted down first

some of mine i dont have them bolted.

I lay them on their back and have been able to plug them in without a problem(I think its the way the lines are routed up the front of the machine).

I lay mine down all the time to transport them. Let them stand up for 24 hours just to make sure coolant is in compressor.

I did this with the first machine i bought. When i unloaded it and opened it, the shims were everywhere except where they were suppose to be... i had never even seen the inside of a pop machine before so i was slightly confused. If you are not familiar with shim set up, check it out first.
