Any hydraulic system needs a flooded suction at all times, any cavitation will cause loss of prime and potentially damage the pump.
A trick is to ensure the suction line is larger than the outlet, increases the volume of fluid on the suction side of the pump.
Just my observations after working in the hydraulics industry for ten plus years.
