There should be a plug on the cylinder somewhere generally facing up and there should be some sort of fill level which is usually to the fill hole. If you can't figure out the fill level I would say try holding the jack so that the ram is facing up and fill it to the hole. If that doesn't work then try filling it with the jack on the floor as it normally sits and fill it untill you can see the fluid just below the hole. Getting the air out is simply just jacking it up and down a few times.
