I've never heard of bleeding a keg. I think I know what they mean but its incorrect. There's no need to relieve the pressure on the keg before applying CO2 pressure and dispensing.
You had your order of operations off... you want to let the keg sit untapped and acclimate to your fridge for a day and then couple it. After that keep the temp at a constant 38* (or your preference) and apply the appropriate pressure for the beer at the temp it pours at. For your current keg at 38*F you'll set your regulator at around 13 PSI.
Hope this helps
