Laying down a machine to move

Tomorrow I need to move a drink machine

But I need to make sure that it runs from the person I'm getting it now they can have it on before I get there

My question is am I able to move it laying down right after unplugging it once I know that it works

I know I can move it laying down I'll advised but necessary and that I need to wait for it to stand after which is my plan

But can it be turned on right before that?
