From the manual:
"How tight should the clutch knobs be? You set the clutch knobs to the
friction you like. When you want to move the telescope, all you do is grab the telescope and move it to its new position."
This implies to me that they expect that you don't need the clutches very tight at all. I try not to use too much pressure but I still loosen the clutches before moving the scope by hand. I've had wear issues with a previous (lower quality) mount and so I'm careful. Also, I observe outside and sometimes wind is a problem, so I need the clutches a little tighter.
