    The service manual lists torque in "da N;m (kgm)". What is the way to convert this to a usable value?

    For example, it lists 1,25 as the torque for attaching the fuel lines to the warm-up regulator. It can't be newton-meters because even my smallest torque wrench starts at 3 newton meters.

    Welcome to "metric standardization" run amuk in the mid-80s -- the TR WSM is the same except they misspelled the Kg-m part as "daN m (Kpm)". No one in the real world (even the metric world) uses daN-m (deka Newton-metres).

    1 daN-m = 10 N-m = 7.35 lb-ft

    or

    1 daN-m = about 1 Kg-m

    So the value listed above should be 12.5 newton-meters? I can handle that. Thanks.
