High pressure pump. Due to
compressibility, the pump will not
discharge fluid until the Stroke Adjustment
is above a non-zero value (e.g. set the
adjustment to 3% and the pump discharges
fluid. Set the adjustment below 3% and no
fluid will be discharged.) When the stroke
is set below the zero point, the display
shows –000000.
