Can I transport a washer/dryer on its back?

[blainey]

Hi there
I want to transport a washing machine in my hatchback and was wondering if it is ok to put it on its back? I've downloaded the manual for the machine and it says that it shouldn't be put on its side but would on its back be ok?
Thanks
Alison

If there is no alternative, then laying the machine on its back is what you will have to do. Do you still have the transit bolts.

Remember that what you have is a lump of concrete, clamped to a sprung loaded drum.

Hi there
I'm buying it from a private seller but it's new so hopefully will stll have its transit blocks in.
