A quick conversion gives 7.9 N*m approx = 70 inch*pounds or 5.8 foot pounds.

Yes it is 70 inch pounds per the manual (the wrench icon is black indicating inch-pounds not white for foot-pounds).

At 70 foot-pounds you would probably snap the bleeders right off (12x over spec).

thank you for the clarification... editing post now

I guess it's lucky I didn't have a socket small enough to fit the bleeder valves that fits my torque wrench
