The drive mechanism is coupled to the main frame and has at least one crank arm that is rotatable about a crank arm axis. The plunger is movable along a longitudinal axis in a compression chamber between a de-stroked position and a stroked position that is located rearward of the de-stroked position along the longitudinal axis. The linkage system couples the plunger to the main frame.
