Keeping the Chuck on the mill

We've got a rong-fu mill (purchased on the reccomendation of Mr. Lavery) and we're delighted with it. Save for one thing. It seems that no matter what speed we set it to, how fast or deep we cut, its only a matter of time until the chuck falls off, damaging our work and (once or twice) the table. The chuck, accoording to the manufacturer we just have to hammer it on the tapered drive shaft, but despite doing this really hard (and using an air-hammer to really drive it up there) it continues to fail. How do other teams deal with this. Why don't they have a screw or something to keep the chuck on?!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
