Notos Notos without air pressure

[norton]

I got a Notos for Christmas. I have a hand pump, and its new.
When I have attempted to pump up cylinder I am not getting any pressure reading on the pump or the air cylinder. I'm about 300 strokes in.
I tried pulling all of the fittings on the pump and put new tape on them thinking I might have an air leak. It has not helped.
The pump is putting out air and air is flowing from the attachment that came with the rifle.
This is the first pre charged I have had in a long time. I had a Hammerli Pneuma before but that one has not held air in years.
Any thoughts besides giving up and getting a new hand pump or electric one?

Well duh
I went online and watched a short video by Ted's Holdover.
New guns sometimes need to be cocked before the first filling.
And it worked.
Yeah for the interwebs!

I found handpumping to be a real chore and it hurt my shoulders so I bought a Yong Heng compressor and a couple out of date 65 Sq ft bottles with fill stations for filling guns.

Not suggesting or telling you what to do but when you get tired, you know help is out there!

Pretty much every new Notos owner I have known has ran into this and been stumped for a bit.

I’ve got two SCBA tanks but it seems like they aren’t filling. How long did it take to pump your 65 up
