So changed out the leaky cylinder on my dht 30 ton splitter and after installing a new one from dht it’s seems there is air in the system. What’s the best way to get the air out of it. Just keep moving it back and forth or try to bleed it ?
 
Tank to pump
I would replace that suction line first chance you get with a proper suction line from a hydraulic supply store. I had a lot of issues with that think getting punctured, leaking, and failing where it meets the pump or the tank. The only time my cylinder did what you are describing I found that that hose had leaked and bled the tank nearly dry. Verify the tank is full then keep running it. The air will work its way out eventually
