    I just bought a Frigidaire Beverag Center. I am having trouble with the co2. I have everything hooked up co2 all the way open and the red valve in the six o'clock position. The gauge that should read 10-12 doesn't read anything and the other reads 600 near the need to replace the co2 tank line. I just got the tank yesterday so it is full. The beer flows but not very fast. What's wrong with the regulator? Why doesn't it read anything? How do I fix? Thanks from first time owner

    1. Regulator installed on cylinder, tightened securely to prevent leaks.
    2. Valve on CO2 cylinder open completely.
    3. Red shutoff in 6 o'clock position.
    4. Adjust pressure using the center adjustment screw. Turning clockwise you should see the needle go up. When beer is drawn the needle will go down, and then return to the set position when the faucet is closed.

    Reading only 600 on the high pressure gauge makes me think that there is a leak. When filled it should be reading 800-1000 PSI. Did you ever see the low pressure gauge read when you set it for 10-12 PSI?
