C5 1000-50 Hydraulics Bleed How To

Crown C5

I recently purchased a Crown C5 and auction and it came with a blown hydraulic tube for the side shifter. I already purchased a new tubing.

I don't see a bleed screw on the piston itself, so do I just bleed out through one of the tube fittings? I'm new to the hydraulic world but have an array of mechanical tools from my automotive background.

I also noticed the main valve block itself has a hydraulic port which I'm assuming is to fill the entire system?

Any help is appreciated. Again, this is my forst hydraulic toy and trying to learn.

No reason to bleed anything just work the side shift a few times.
Look for the hydraulic tank on the right side of the lift that is where you add fluid.

EDIT If you can raise the forks all the way up then really no reason to add fluid.

When checking the fluid level make sure the forks are lowered to the ground.
