First, loosen the counterscrew, focus stopping screw and the two screws to the left and right of the tension adjustment screw in the middle of the crayford focuser bearing plate. Then tighten (or loosen) the tension adjustment screw, so that the focuser tube does have a good grip and does not slide by itself. Now, carefully tighten the the two screws left and right of the tension screw, they are here to exactly parallelize the teflon bearing to the crayford shaft and to limit the pressure of the tension screw.. Do not really tighten them, they should just touch! Now you may tighten the tension screw a little more and counterbalance it with the two screws left and right. You can put a tiny amount more pressure, because in the final part you may regulate that with the counter screw, placed in the middle and near to the telescope tube.
