Hi,

I recently purchased a new Monster and am having trouble with the tank. When I attempted to lift it, the tank was rubbing against the metal "hook" that the tank latch mechanism secures to when locking it down. I ended up scraping paint off the tank just to lift it. I'm now trying to lower it back down and it's hitting the same metal hook. What step am I missing here? I've never experienced rubbing with my previous Monsters. Thanks in advance for your help!

i've not had a 797 apart, but i've done 821 and 1200 and while they look like they would just flip up with the shape of the rear "pivot", i really don't think they're meant to. not easily anyway.

Thanks, belter. So you recommend removing the torx screw from the bracket that holds the back of the tank?

that's what i've done - undo screw, lift back of tank and unplug hoses, etc.
