Spindle Tab nut tightness?

when doing up the tab nut on the spindle how tight does it need to be? tight enough till it stops spinning freely? or tighter so there is no play (up and down play) in the spindle?

I cant supply drawings for current machines but some of the parts are common and could be supplied. It uses 44 springs in the chain and a similar power transmission to the NovaMill. ok many t...
