m 700 hydro fluid change.

[HappyNewBob]

So I removed both side covers and sucked out as much fluid from the two tanks as I could (besides I just got this machine and wanted to check the running gear). Then filled the machine with new fluid. Then I removed the oil cooler and pumped out and sucked in more fluid. (I am doing all this because the old stuff was Grey and milky) I needed to braze the cylinder steel line so I also pumped new fluid out of the bucket lines. I know I have air in the system. So the question is do I need to bleed the air from ever line I can get my hands on Or will I work its way out. I thought it would bleed itself with a little time. But I want to be sure. Second question is do I check the level with it running or shut down. Thanks Happy standing by

That model is not one I've had my hands on, but believe it will self bleed with a few cycles up and down and a leisurely drive (just roll along,save the tight turns for later)
Don't believe the level will read any different running or not (no torque converter like a auto tranny to fill or drain down)
Good luck
