'''Please don't perform any maintenance on the machine (including cleaning lenses/mirrors or aligning mirrors) unless you've specifically trained on it.'''
* TEMP note: some check(s) may be included outside of maintenance so a user can trigger a maintenance notification
* DON'T - let someone who has been trained do it
* how to tell if the lens is dirty (or getting old?)
* how to tell if the mirrors are dirty
** Cleaning the mirrors
*** ethanol solution?  isopropanol? - see manual.
*** fabric must be non scratch - see manual.
* Checking and performing mirror alignment
** Safety - remove gratings and any other reflective surfaces before any maintenance that requires disabling the door sensors.
** TEMP note: in restrospect the alignment was a very dangerous situation. mirror paths were not checked before powering on the laser with the door open with many people around. (or maybe nigel is just insanely good at configuring mirrors... still... reddit.com/r/OSHA)
** Tape test - mirrors 1,2,3 and their corresponding exits. Slightly propped laser tube.
** vertical/horizontal alignment by brass dial.
* Checking chiller tank water volume
** Chiller alarm - what does it mean
** Checking tank water volume
** Refilling tank water
* Cleaning the bed and waste drawer (this section probably should be moved to usage)
