Put the ratchet handle in its closed position to make it simpler for you to access the axle assembly. Weave the webbing so that it emerges from under the ratchet, passes through the slot in the axle, and then exits the same way it went in. Last but not least, fasten the hooks that are attached to each end of your ratchet into position (for example, on your truck, car, or another vehicle).
Get rid of the slack in the webbing that is located between the two hooks by pulling the end of the webbing that is hanging free
By pumping the ratchet handle, you can further reduce the amount of slack in the chain
Your ratchet straps should now have your load safely contained and secured in place
