The instructions for refilling my TR8 PS system from dry are something like 
fill the reservoir, start the car, turn slowly to one lock and back, top up the 
reservoir, turn slowly to the other lock and back, top up again.  Or it might 
have you top up at lock, then again and center, etc.

In any case, it seems like you need the pump running, and the rack moving to 
get the fluif in there.
