fuel pump replacement

I just finished installing a new fuel pump in my f150. should there be air in the injectors now? and if so how do I get it out?

Turn the key on, and listen for the pump. It will only run for about 3 seconds, then shut off. Turn the key back off, and do this again two more times. This bleeds all the air out of the fuel lines. The truck should start easily now.
