How necessary is it to remove check valves and add some hytran after cork gasket job?

Replaced the gasket and so the trans is basically empty at this point. It has been suggested to me to remove both check valves and pour some fluid down in both ports, then reinstall valves and rotate the driveshaft (or in my case the coupling arm since there is no engine in the tractor right now) in the direction of normal rotation (I think this is counter-clockwise but not certain till I refer to my notes) to make sure the pump is primed. Never had the check valves out before so wanted to make sure I need to do this (?)

Thanks...
