W221 AIRmatic Strut Renewal

2008 S550 - left front AIRmatic strut has failed. What is the proper procedure for re-pressurizing the strut following renewal? Is the wheel of the affected side left elevated... or does the re-pressurization process require the vehicle to be placed fully on the ground, on all four wheels? Thanks.

fill the air strut some before placing the weight of the vehicle on the new strut
