The Installation Instructions for the Convert-A-Ball Cushoined 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G says to tighten down the cap screws to approximately 100 ft. lbs. Keep in mind that you will need someone to help hold the adapter while someone else tightens the cap screws since the adapter weighs over 50 lbs.
If you are wanting some added security for peace of mind, you can use the Master Lock Padlocks # 141T to help deter theft of your adapter.
I have included a demonstration video and the installation instructions for you as well.
