Is there a Maintenance Schedule for the XL?

Is there a Maintenance Schedule for the XL? something some where that says you should do X every so often.

I've been printing away on my XL and I'm worried I'm neglecting doing the maintenance on my printer. its such a large and complicated printer that I'm afraid I'll screw something up if I try and conduct some maintenance on it with out proper instructions. I didn't see any maintenance instructions in the guide book that came with my printer, which surprised me. 

I feel like the printer has gotten louder since I first got it and that's what prompted me to seek out a maintenance plan for it.

RE: Is there a Maintenance Schedule for the XL?

Thanks for the link, I found some stuff in the 3D Printing Handbook for the Original Prusa XL v1.04 (Section 6) too, but the link and the book have different tasks to perform.

And, the link says to attach a belt tensioner. What is that, and where do you get it? But then, I found this in the links in the left menu - "Adjusting belt tension (XL)", and it uses a Prusa App on a web page (prusa.io/bent-tuner) that is only documented in the video on that page.

Why is this stuff so hard to find? Shouldn't it be a topic on the XL page? And, shouldn't it be consistent between all their manuals and web pages?

Sorry for the rant, I've just spent way too much time looking for this.

things in the schedule refer to "print hours".  Is there a display on the printer that tracks print time from some epoch?

The method was changed, looks like (some of) the documentation hasn't caught up.

It's deep in Info > Statistics
