It does provide specific guidance about how much force should be applied to determine if it is an acceptable condition. I believe it's about 5 lbs force. Mine does the same thing you described and I have flight checked it in the air and it works perfect every time. Remember, the air loads will provide the additional force required to lock down. Review this section of the builders manual to confirm. Steve
