Bleeding Hydraulic line

[drivadesl]

I just replaced 3 hydraulic hoses on my kubota mini ex. These were for the boom cylinders supply and return. Is there a need to bleed the air out of hoses when starting her up the first time? Or will the air work itself back to the reservoir by itself?

I replaced similar hoses on my tractor loader at one time, and didn't do anything, and in no time it worked perfectly after running the cylinders in and out. Anything to be concerned with here?

Thanks.

Cycla the cylinder two or three times, holding the lever for a few seconds at each end of the cylinder's stroke. You'll be good to go.

Thanks Rick I'll give it a try.
