Installing new hydraulic brakes

Hi all,

I hope you may be able to give me some pointers about installing new hydraulic brakes on my bike. I've installed brakes before when the parts have all been dry and then need to be bled through once installed. However, my new parts have arrived with the hose connected to the calliper pre-filled (but NOT yet connected to the levers, so it's not a totally pre-bled unit, the levers are 'dry'). I've never encountered this before, the user guide is pretty unclear how to tackle this and I can't find any forum posts or videos dealing with this situation.

Do I need to add more oil to fill the reservoir in the levers once I've connected them up to the hoses, or is the oil in the hose sufficient? The levers are Shimano Deore BR-T6000 and the callipers are Shimano Deore BR-M6000.

Have tried searching for any videos dealing with this but can't find any, so any pointers there would be helpful too.

Many thanks for any suggestions you have!

David
