Title: How long do I leave it upright?
Post by: pepsi-perk on November 10, 2009, 08:02:15 am
Hi All -

I am picking up the little pepsi vendo tonight and cannot take my trailer because of a tail light issue and it will be dark.  So I am just lay it on its back in my truck for maybe a 45 minute trip.

How long do you suggest after I put it back upright to wait until I plug it in for all the oils and such to settle back down?

Thanks!

I've heard that it should sit upright for as long as it was down, but I always wait 24 hours to be safe.

the rule of thumb Iv'e alwasy used is 2x as long as it was on it's back or 24 hours is fine too...

Thanks for the advice.  I love this board for my newly found hobby.  You all are so informative and wise  :laugh:

I got the little guy home tonight and the lock drilled.  Missing two shelves, but otherwise looks ok inside.  Best thing about it the coin acceptor functions perfectly...I put it in my LaCrosse 90 and now that puppy is vending like it should be...already well worth the $50 I spent getting this machine! 

Got a new coin acceptor on its way for the LaCrosse, but at least now I now that part of the new little vendo works fine.
