Default Four Star 60 pushrods; jam nuts

I am assembling a Four Star 60 ARF. The aileron pushrods are 4-40 with solder clevises on one end and threaded steel clevises on the other. The manual states that a jam nut needs to be screwed against the threaded clevis after everything is adjusted. What is the purpose of the jam nut?
