Gillfisher Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I talked to the Jiffy rep at one of the recent ice fishing shows and he said they can be laid down with the muffler facing down. I hauled mine that way today and did not have any oil leaking issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lispeej Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 You could also lay it with the black box facing up. It is the same side as the fill/drain hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfighter Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I talked to the Jiffy rep at one of the recent ice fishing shows and he said they can be laid down with the muffler facing down. I hauled mine that way today and did not have any oil leaking issues I figure this must be true or people won't be doing it.I call Jiffy and I suppose to cover there butt they said spark plug up only way, wonder why they won't say way above is OK??

traveler Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I've had mine since they came out...I try to always put it down the way you're suppossed to, but sometimes I forget, or a buddy lays it down wrong, etc...No leaking at all to this point, I think they just try to ward off potential problems.

EJ Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 They will leak oil and not run right if not laid down per instructions. Found out hard way. Otherwise love it just have to be careful when transporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
