Our local dealer told us to make sure it is tarped and not in direct sun all the time (sitting over summer ect) If you are not covering it with the black tank cover thing. Something to do with heat, deteriation..sorry can't remember the specfics as I wasn't that worried because we have them in our shop all the summer months. I can husband though, I bet he listened!! lol

Its about the UV degradation. You need to keep it covered or the UV in the sunlight will make the tank brittle. One small hit and you have a nice big hole in the tank. This is probably what the dealer was referring to as well. If its kept covered there are no issues, when it sits in the sun in the back field all summer with no cover on it, that's when you start having issues.

I agree your machine + at least a grand to you. Just wait....Good luck.
