Just tighten them snug.
I use a T handle wrench and give them probably more than 10 ft lbs.

I figured that was for the bolts holding the cases together... usually the clymer manual specifically says something like "tighten to value listed in table 2" whereas for this case it says more like "tighten securely".
cool.... i'll tighten em securely regardless.... :dunno:
