Inspect the pulleys for any physical damage like burrs or nicks that could damage the belt. 
Replace the belt by stretching it over the spindle and motor pulley.  Check the belt once a
month.

Draining and Cleaning the Water Resevoir

Remove the reservoir cover by lifting it and turning it right sideways to the front and then
lifting it up and over the front edge to clear the pump per the picture below.  The cover can
be cleaned using a window cleaning solution or by washing it in a mild solution of
dishwashing soap and a soft cloth.

Place a small container under the level indicator and swivel the indicator downwards to allow
the water to drain.
