Yes, you must bleed it. Anytime you have a hydraulic system open, you must bleed it. There is a reservoir on one end of the system in the engine compt where fluid is added, and a bleed valve on the other. Your friend pumps up the pressure in the system thereby separating the air from the fluid, and it rises to the highest point in the system, which, coincidentally, happens to be where the bleed screw is. Give it a quick open\shut 'til only fluid comes out (easiest to see if you have a transparent hose attached to the bleed screw) and you're done. Search or Google for more. HTH,
