Trim fill on 80's style pump.

[Stumpalump]

I just overhauled a trim on a 1984 Johnson 60. Cleaned inside motor, brushes and replace the valve body and resivior. Same trim used on most larger engines around that time frame. It's got a plug on the side of the resivior that I assume is the fill and level hole. Do I fill it when it's trimmed up or down and am I checking it correctly?

Fill it in the full trim up position. Then cycle it up and down 5 times and recheck the fluid level.

That did it. It works great now. Thank you!
