ed lifting of the plunger. By turning the eccentric disc (6) off
the centre (Fig. 1) of the guide rod and tightening the
knurled screw, lifting the plunger is not possible. By turning
the eccentric disc (6) towards the centre (Fig. 2) of the
guide rod and tightening the knurled screw, lifting the
plunger is possible.
