Hello
Is it OK to tip/turn my 827M ride on mower fully onto its side and leave it as such for a number of hours.
While reviewing some older questions on this site I see ride on mowers fully tipped onto their side.
I appreciate the petrol cap must be fully secured or the tank emptied but what problems if any occurs with the engine oil perhaps going places it shouldn't.
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards..quintain

Tip it up is the safest thing to do
I stand them on their rear mudguard and most will stand up quite fine
When done like that battery needs to be removed as well as the fuel tank capped
Some hydro drives will leak a bit of oil out the breather if left up for too long
