Hello!
It is well know that chillers, fridges, etc... should always be moved and transported upright because of the oil inside of them.
A friend of mine helped me transport a new 1/4 jbj chiller, and I was very clear about moving it upright.
To my surprise when it arrived I opened the car´s trunk, and the chiller was in the box laying on its side :dizzy-face::dizzy-face:

Would this cause trouble?

I have read to just keep it upright and dont turn it on for 24 hours...
Any advice?
