If the fluid level does not drop any further after a short engine start, the engine can be started for operation.
The steering wheel is turned several times from one stop position to another to force the air out of the cylinder. But you should not turn it too hard. It is enough for the piston to reach the stop in both directions of steering wheel rotation.
During operation, observe the liquid mirror in the reserve tank. If it drops, immediately add liquid, as the mirror should remain evenly at the maximum mark on the tank wall. No air bubbles should emerge when the steering wheel is turned from one stop to the other.
