Hey Matt! Yes, you can store the # PM44FR on its side - just make sure the oil fill plug is facing up so it doesn’t leak (it shouldn't leak either way, but this is best practice). The manufacturer recommends doing that only for short trips though once you’re back home or at camp, it’s best to keep it upright.
Are you keeping it in a gear box or under a rear seat? I can help you find the best orientation to fit that carry bag securely.

Thanks, Andrew. I keep all my tools in a Pelican case in the back of my Wrangler. It gets bounced around a lot on trails. think that’ll be an issue for the jack?
