Yup, you got it. Start the pump and move all cylinders then fill the tank to 1/2-3/4 full or what the suggested fill level is accroding to the manual.

Hey Cos, I have the same pump in my LinkBelt, me and a fellow buddy (Kat owner) worked on mine and we think we have made the appropriate adjustments to keep the hoses on. we install the pressure gauge last night and its holding at 18-20 psi with all the functions operating. I plan to remove the metal tank and add an external tank, more oil to cool, and can see the volume in the tank.
