Front Wheel bearing torque spec

Front Wheel bearing torque spec
92 Ford Explorer 4wd. I read in the Haynes manual that the front wheel bearing torque is only 16 in/lbs. I torqued my front wheel bearing to 16 inch pounds and there was about an 1/8" play in the wheel (up and down). If I tighten the nut to the next notch, there is no wheel play at all. Since there is about a 1/4" between notches on the nut, moving the nut to the next notch brings the torque up to about 10 ft/lbs. Is this too tight? Will it burn out the wheel bearing?
