DO NOT fool around on it with the cog and lockring loose. you will strip your hub after a while.
+1 and to add to the above post its recommended to give considerable torque to both the cog and lockring. and then ride your bike for a short while and re-torque to insure everything is secure and tight. get the correct tools or LBS.
