Unable to charge Walther Dominator from SCBA tank

[docsydney]

Hey All,

I just got a Walther Dominator 1250 and am unable to charge the weapon with the SCBA tank. Tank shows a pressure of 2300 psi , connection with the adaptor is good, but when I connect and open the SCBA valve the gauge on the weapons cyinder shows 0 psi. What could be the problem? Can someone help?

Thanks.

The problem would most probably be with the cylinder - of late there have been many complaints about Dominator cylinders . If any one you know has a Dominator try using his cylinder on your Gun . This will make it easier to diagnose the problem .

change your cylinder.

Most probable reason for the cylinder not being charged is a faulty cylinder valve or the fill adapter is not depressing the cylinder valve when the cylinder is being screwed on or the fill adapter its self is restricted ...blocked.
that is what i can think of..... this might give rise to inquisitive'ness and kick your instinct to fiddle " BE WARE you are dealing with a high pressure vessel " and you need to be verrrrrr...ry cautious.

Another point is please go through your user manual, you should not drain your cylinder below 70 or 80 bars please confirm. I never go below 100 bar.
