That's a very old version of the docs. Here's the latest: http://salilab.org/modeller/9.12/manual/node480.html
All the numbers are explained at that link. However, we don't generally recommend you add restraints by hand-writing raw restraints files; you can do it from Python instead. There is an example at http://salilab.org/modeller/9.12/manual/node27.html

It's exactly the same - the atom type doesn't matter.
