turn machine on it's side?

I'm looking for feedback on a 7HBW23... I'm replacing all the linkage, pins, and bushings on several of these electric pallet jacks, is it safe to turn on it's side after I remove the battery and charger pack? It seems to be a sealed hydraulic reservoir... feedback from anyone with experience with this is appreciated...
