Brake Master Cylinder

We have rebuilt the brakes on this lift, wheel cylinders, shoes and new master, this is a hydraulic pressurize system , master run's off of the lift's hydraulics, I've bleed the system to remove air, problem is the brake pedal pumps up but leave it alone for a few minutes and pedal goes to the floor again, acts like still air in system. What I'm I doing wrong, am I missing something ?

Did you have the motor running while bleeding?

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
