Not sure of the standard reading but I set mine to 101NM, I can go check the wrench to see if thats the same as was mentioned.

Assuming you have a click type wrench, you should always back it off to
zero when you are finished using it. Failure to do so will result in very
inaccurate readings.

Not quite correct. You should back it off to the lowest setting, which on mine is 10lbs. That came with the instructions for using the torque wrench.
