Just did a top motor and cylinders on a 1955 Sunliner. Get everything hooked up except do not attach the Pistons to the top mechanism just yet .
Fill the system with fluid (atf in my case) and hit the switch. By allowing the cylinders to operate without a load the system will fill and bleed through operation. Check the pump reservoir often as it will empty into the cylinders quickly.
Once the Pistons rise and fall through full travel a few times then hook the Pistons to the top mechanism and operate the top up and down a few times . This process will take time and use quite a bit of fluid. After you are satisfied with the operation check the fluid level one last time.
Short answer to your question is the system is self bleeding.
