If the manual says its self bleeding put the battery charger on for a couple hours, then put your foot into the go pedal and crank. Hold the throttle open until its running smoothly.
I screwed up a couple weeks ago changing the filters on my '85 Mercedes-Benz 190D. Its also self bleeding so its not a big deal but I forgot to hold my foot into it and it died on me. Then I had to crank and crank and crank until it caught again and ran like crud until all the air was out. Now its fine though.

Another thing to do is fill your filters with diesel kleen when you replace them, that'll displace a bunch of the air first and make it alot less of an issue...
