Just operate the 3PH lever over several minutes for the first attempt at a fix. Hopefully, that will expel the air from the lines and cylinders.
Gentlemen,
All is well! A couple of hours ago, I was really cussing The Orange Machine! The filter is a machined Hollow Bolt that passes through the suction tube. (25 mm) Aprox. 8" long, except the inner 6" is a spring with a very fine screen surrounding it. (Bad Design!!) After pulling the bolt, which I'm sure has never been done (1,100 Hrs.) the tube itself shifted backwards! Finally after 2 hours , managed to shim, block and pry back to position in order not to cross thread.(after pulling rear wheel, should have done 1st) The screen was 98% blocked. (Took pics) Anyhow, 3PH lifts like never before and without the whine @ the top end!! Thanks to everyone with their input and mostly quick response! I found a better Forum!! Steve.

Wow! A good news story at last. They seem to be few and far between.
But this is a forum for solving problems so a lot of troubles are presented here.

I have a 79 B7100D and the manual calls for 80w-90 oil. That was changed quite a while ago to UDT.
If you call a dealer they should know that.
