The oil in the compressor can get up into the cylinders when you tip it. Can't compress a liquid only a gas, so the valves break and the compressor is wiped out. If you do tip it let it sit upright a while (couple of days) in a warm spot so the oil drains back into the crankcase where it belongs before you start it .
