I am moving a gas dryer and was curious if they're OK to lay on their
sides or back. Any problems with the bearing, etc?

some people have SUV's not trucks to transport them in so this is why
you would lay them on their side


13 years ago, I'm gonna guess they figured it out, though, I could be
wrong.


Yes, they did. Instead of laying it down they borrowed a Radio Flyer
wagon from the kid next door and put the dryer on that. Took a while to
haul it the 35 miles home but it was in good shape when they got there.


That reminds me and makes me laugh. I have one of those Gorilla yard carts
with 10-inch pneumatic tires. It's very handy for yard work but they saw
fit to include a sticker that says, "Not suitable for highway use." Really?
I wonder how many people tied those wagons to their rear bumpers before the
company realized they needed to add a warning.


I have a strong hunch some idiot actually tried that, hence the reason
for the label.

It's become evident many warning labels are required due to the idiots
who have actually attempted using a product not intended for it's
purpose and tried suing the company when it failed to hold up or caused
injury.
