Hello,

Tighten the bolts in sequence (Fig. 56) using the following steps and torque values:
Step 1: Tighten bolts 1-10, 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.) .
Step 2: Tighten bolts 1-10, 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) . Tighten bolts 11-14, 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.)
Step 3: Tighten bolts 1-10, 90 degrees. Tighten bolts 11-14, 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.)

Here is a video on how to use a torque wrench.
