It says not to tighten to much, i got as far as i could with my fingers then another 1/4 of a turn with a wrench put it in good position to hook the hose back up. is that enough?

 

yes that will work well................the hollow fitting break easily is why they advise like that

 

As Whit said, the fitting is weak, as it is likely brass. "Snug" is a decent term to use in regards of how tight to put it in. A little pipe tape wouldn't hurt, but the brass and aluminum will mold to one another and seal.
