I believe there is, at least in my copy (now Manuel's) of the 
serive manual. It is also 10Nm, which is about twice as much as 
required. When we attempted to torque mine to that, we severly 
damaged the threads to two of the bolt holes. Be very careful!

Anyway, get the service manual, it is $50 (or what ever) well 
spent!!!
