A method for filling a hydraulic circuit of an electro-hydrostatic system includes connecting first and third shut-off valves to a discharge valve, and connecting a second shut-off valve to a filling valve, while the second and third shut-off valves are closed, opening the filling valve, the discharge valve and the first shut-off valve and operating a vacuum generator, once a vacuum has been established in the hydraulic circuit, opening the second shut-off valve in order to fill the hydraulic circuit with pressurized hydraulic fluid while the vacuum generator is still in operation, once the hydraulic circuit has been filled with fluid, closing the first shut-off valve and then opening the third shut-off valve in order to bypass the vacuum generator and circulate the fluid through the electro-hydrostatic system until the fluid contained in the hydraulic circuit reaches a predetermined pressure, and closing the discharge valve and the filling valve.
