Default Re: Assembly Manual (Feltman)

My manual lists most of the torque specifications in newton-meters (or Nm). You can get the conversion factors here.

http://www.onlineconversion.com/torque.htm

For instance multiply Nm by 0.737 to get ft lb-force

To get inch-pounds, DIVIDE the newton-meter (n-m) number by 0.11298.

To get foot-pounds, DIVIDE the newton-meter (n-m) number by 1.3558.

Torque wrenches now have both settings, ft lbs and nt meters. I have an old sears wrench, has both settings.
