  2. b. Typically, this machine will work very effectively and with few repairs for the first three years, but will be down for maintenance quite a bit during its final four years of use.
  3. c. This machine is expected to run constantly over the entire period it is used. It requires regular maintenance over its lifetime in order to maintain its expected steady level of production.
