Hello Andy

The small coupler screws coming loose are a known issue with the sharks.
You may want to consider using cap screws in the couplers instead of set screws, as they allow the use of a larger wrench and you can get them tighter. I belive NWA may now be selling them as parts as well.

thread lock will also help.

For best results, the leadscrew should have a flat on it like the motor does. if it does not, putting a flat on it with a file or grinder will help also.

you may find this thread helpful.
