Not a good idea. Although a little moisture won't hurt, the paint on the wheels will come off the first few times you roll it around, exposing bare metal. From there it will corrode easily if left to the elements. Same goes for any contact point on the jack. My Craftsman 3ton that I use most looks like it went through a war zone and I take good care of it, but usage wears hard on the finish. If it was kept outside it'd be ruined by now. Maybe if you've got something to put over it at least.
