Is it necessary to prime a new line from the oil res. of an oil injection system on a Mariner 40 HP to the pump?

Per OEM manual.

Bleeding Air from Oil
Injection System
IMPORTANT: If air exists in either oil pump hose
(inlet or outlet), the air MUST BE bled from the
hose(s) before operating engine.
Bleeding Air from Oil Pump Inlet Hose
1. With engine not running, place a shop towel below
the oil pump. Loosen bleed screw three to four
turns and allow oil to flow from bleed hole until no
air bubbles are present in inlet hose. Torque bleed
screw to 25 lb. in. (2.8 Nm). This procedure also
allows oil pump to fill with oil.
