Correct torque is 385 Nm. I don´t have a torque wrench for such high torques so I used a wrench slightly longer than half a meter and hung myself on. With a ready-to-run weight of about 75 kg (including wallet!) that should be it.
I didn´t want to over tighten it. But I did it on the smaller axle on the tilting head. I didn´t note that those nuts (same thread!) should be tightened with only 250 Nm so I used the same method on those and they didn´t need that much retightening.
The biggest one i have i think it goes a bit over 1000 Nm, but then i work with these machines...
