How long to let a machine settle?

[BryanH]

I know that you need to let a machine sit and settle for at least 24 hours after it's been transported on it's back.... but how long do you need to let it settle if it's been transported upright?

you shouldn't have to wait long at all, unless you live on five miles of crater-filled dirt roads, the short time it spends sliding off the back of a pickup truck at an angle to get 'er down to the ground won't cause any harm.

It's always best to transport a machine upright, but this isn't always practical.

I use the at least one hour upright for every hour on it's back.
