Some directions I have seen for putting fluid into an empty power 
steering system says to lift  both front wheels off the ground while 
doing the above.  Not lifting the front wheels off the ground would void 
the power steering pump warranty.

So it probably would not hurt to lift the front wheels even if the 
manual doesn't say to do so.
