Fill it with oil, fill the HPO res, turn the key on and wait for the pump to turn off, do this several times. Then Crank. It should start after the second or third 10-15 second crank session.

It will run rough for a bit until the air gets out of the system and will take a long time to start for the first 20-40 miles.

Let it get up to temp before going for a drive.
