Believe it is the same as au2... somewhere near 300nm will do it.

(manual gives the 305nm figure, also references a range of 260-350nm)

Yep, around 305NM sounds right.

If you don't have a torque wrench that will measure up to the above figure, you can count the number of threads the nut on your other wheels is on from the end of the shaft. Then apply that number to the wheel you want to tighten. It should be close to factory spec.
