Well you might want to have it checked for leaks at this time too. It sucks to discover leaks when you crank it up for the first time and it gets to operating temp.
I usually do a precheck using an old cut up inner tube. I'll cut the section out that has the valve stem on and using a hose clamp I clamp it around the inlet port with the stem in the center. I take another piece of the tube and clamp it over the bottom port and seal that side off.
Leave it empty and slap the cap on and pressure up on the stem, you should be able to go up to 30 lbs with this. Use soapy water and check for leaks. This is a simple test using a scrap innertube and will find the slightest of leaks and keep you from doing twice the work.
