accionar
Explanation:
I would go this route, they are simply saying talking about making the pump pass though it cycle until it is at full stroke.

barrer


Explanation:
The text seems to refer to a pump having a piston in a cylinder, and the 'stroke' is the longitudinal movement of the piston in the cylinder (which, assuming a classical mechanical pump) depends on the crank-shaft radius). The text is saying that the stroke should be increased in increments when starting the pump.

In suggest you translate using a the verb 'barrer' (to sweep), as in the following examples:

FWIW, 'stroke' in Krisz's text has the same meaning as 'rock back and forth' in the following:

neutral  jmr620808: correcto, pero en este caso se debe ACCIONAR el piston para que realize su carrera y se elimine el aire de las lineas y la bombe opere correctamente.

aumente el desplazamiento/carrera


Explanation:
Al tratarse de bombas de desplazamiento variable, el autor usa la expresión "stroke the pumps " para decir "adjust the stroke length of the pumps". En este caso específico, se trata de un aumento de la carrera o desplazamiento en incrementos graduales hasta alcanzar el desplazamiento o caudal máximo.

neutral  jmr620808: Siempre y cuando el diseño de la bomba sea de carrera variable (a la cual nos referimos) y esto no eliminaría el aire de la línea, solo es un ajuste mecánico que regula simplemente la presión de salida.
