Following diese's line of thought...

I don't speak Italian, so not sure this will help...but:

Since the 139 was originally a Bell/Agusta project to supposedly replace the 412, this problem sounds very familiar.

The 212/412 had a similar feature in their hydraulic systems whereas if you were a little weak in dialing in the test pressure it would overfill the reservoirs and puke everywhere.

There was a big caution in the M&O to reduce pressure to zero below a certain level. 600psi comes to mind. And if I recall, we used to listen for the "clunk" of the shuttle valve when applying pressure.
