Again, if you have a couple pictures of the set up or a video of what happens when you try to fill, someone here will very likely be able to help you.

Sorry to hear of your frustration, but understandable. This is a unique hobby, and it requires research and lots of time and money. Unless you have a local resource for advice and support, you might want to consider cutting your loss and frustration and staying with spring piston rifles for now.

Sounds like your issue may be with connecting the fill probe to your pump. The pump very likely has a female foster fitting - that is an industry standard. I have no idea what the pump end of a hatsan fill probe looks like but if it is not a male foster it should be threaded so you can put an adapter on it to have a male foster. If you do not know what a male foster fitting looks like google it. They come with male or female threads but you will need to know the size and thread pitch to get the right fitting - if that is indeed the issue.
I understand you are frustrated and I hope people will stop criticizing your gun and actually try to help. Getting the probe connected to the pump is a one time issue and very solvable. Wish I knew more about Hatsans. A picture of your fill probe would help.

I did google search and got 0 hits. The few address I did get when I put in maps it was now a different business.

My first pcp was a Benjamin Maximus that I still have. Wasn’t over expensive and I bought a good quality hand pump with it. One day it started leaking air quickly. I’m mechanically inclined but wasn’t familiar with this setup and thought something inside the gun was leaking down and it took another minute to realize the Foster fitting was loose! It was a simple fix and it’s possibly yours will be too. Could be you’re looking right at it and not seeing it. Put it down and come back in a couple days. If it won’t fix, return and replace. I have some break barrels, hand pumpers and co2 guns that are great. Sometimes you just get one finished up late on Friday.

This is what I commented about. I had to open it up and clean it out. I was also hand pumping at the time. Honestly, the whole gun needs to be disassembled and cleaned. I’ve been there. They come from overseas full of gunk. It’s just part of the territory with budget pcp. I’ve found through experience the Snowpeaks arrive in better condition, but still need cleaning and tuning. We get what we pay for.
This guy has great videos.

Attached picture shows my fill line connecting to different fill probes.
One one on the left is for my FX guns and it has a quick release coupler from "Best Fittings".
The one in the middle is for my HW100T, also has the quick release coupler.
The one on the right is for my PP700S which fits into the fill line directly.
Your second picture showed the small brass coupler beside your Hatsan probe. Does that has a hole at the end and does it fit onto the probe and fill line?

What I see there is a dead head and the hatsan fill probe you need a 1/8 quick connect to add to the fill probe .

The connectors that came with pump don't fit the Hatsan plug. I had removed the coupler and just screwed the Hatsan plug directly onto the pump.

The small one that came with the pump fits into the pump. they are smaller than the Hatsan plug. There is no where local I can get one so I can verify the fit. Online I'll just be ordering and getting poop that don't work or fit. Seriously if I had known what a pain in the ass a starter PCP was I wouldn't have bothered. Now i'm in burnt out mode from this poop and the pump I ordered I was told worked with Hatsan another sale I got conned on.

Let's try diagnosing this another way... Pump the pump without it being connected to anything. Does air come out of the end of the hose? -or- Does the pressure gauge go to the red within four pumps?

Same here no issues at all with the couple I've had. With Pcp's in general no matter the manufacturer or price range sometimes you get a bad one ..

Just saw this in the classifieds. Great first PCP and one you can pass down to your children or grand children.
