Dust is the enemy of hydros , so not unless you are doing this is a very clean garage & the underside of the mower is spotless
You are not really changing the volume all you are doing is getting the oil on the bottom & the air on the top

Ok good. Like I said, since this will be time consuming I'm going to do this over the coming weekend. How often should I move the levers back and forth slowly?

Engine running as low as possible , wheels off the ground bypasses open the do slow forward & reverse movements with the lap bars .
Might take several hours to get all the air our .

Wheels off the ground and as you work the lap bars from full forward to full reverse the wheels will become more responsive as the air is expelled till eventually you can not stop them by dragging your foot on the wheels
Some will come good in a couple of minutes
Others may take all day then some

Good morning, I didn't get a chance to work on my mower this past weekend but I do have another question for you. Do you have anything that explains how to adjust the levers? I know it's in the linkage but I can't seem to get them right.
