That probabley means you have leeking pads.
Take it to a local music store for a check up.

Low notes on saxophones are typically hard to get out. A pad might be leaking, but it also just takes some practice.

The fingerings are almost the same as the clarinets Clarion register, the key on the back is not a register key it is an octave key, so it should be pretty easy, the saxophone doesn't finger the same way as the low notes (chalumeau).
