How tight should you tighten the clevis on the A-22 Cargo Bag?

• A. Full torque with wrench
• B. As tight as possible
• C. Hand tight only
• D. Finger tight plus one turn

Answer: (C)

Tighten the clevis by hand until snug—hand tight only. This keeps the connection secure under vibration and load without risking damage from over-tightening. Using tools or applying maximum torque can strip threads, distort hardware, or seize moving parts, which makes inspection and quick release harder and can compromise the bag’s securing system. The design relies on a firm hand-tight connection that you can easily verify by feel and by a simple visual check, ensuring the fastener remains reliable while still allowing rapid release if needed. Options that push for more torque or a specific extra turn can overcompress the fitting and aren’t compatible with the intended tolerances and ease of service.
