Default Hydraulic Bandsaw Feed cylinder oil fill level?

Hey guys,
can someone out there shed some light on how much oil should be put in
a Hydraulic Bandsaw downfeed cylinder.
This is the kind with the downfeed adjustment valve and the piston has
a quick
return bypass valve in it.
If I fill it slap full with oil it seems to lock up.
If I keep some air it's spongy.
What's the correct filling setup?
RichD, Atlanta
