The hydraulic lines are all hooked up and the air is bled out of the system.
The loader arm is being held up by it's own hydraulic pressure.

And of course, this is with the arm lowered.
I quickly realised that this pump has way too much capacity for this hydraulic system.
Just cranking the engine over on the starter alone will raise and lower the arm at a good rate of movement.
It moves way to fast with the engine running so I need to put a lower capacity pump on it.
