I forgot to mention the numbers are the order your supposed to remove them.
Also, check the link for high resolution .tif files if you can't make out the numbers.
Have fun.

Bottom right on both pages is the units.
Numbers outside the parenthesis are N*M
First set of numbers in the parenthesis are kgf*M
Last set of numbers in the parenthesis are ft*lb.

They give you a range to pick from. I used the higher number just to be safe. So, yes 34.0 is correct.
