Default Cvh tappet touque setting

Hi

I was wondering does anyone know how tight to tighten the nuts on the rocker type things which go from the hydralic tappets and the valves?

It's definately round about the 30nm mark, 27-29 i seem to remember it stating in the manual but 30 is the lowest my torque wrench goes to lol.
Certainly wants to be more than 10nm though......that's barely nipped up!
