English term or phrase: ratcheting
When servicing a stationary compactor, watch for pinch points while ***ratcheting*** turnbuckles. Always secure the receiver door or net to prevent waste from escaping the receiver box while in transit.

Spanish translation:Ajustar
Explanation:
In this case, I think the best solution is going for a general term. If I understand the context correctly, "ratcheting" here means adjusting the turnbuckles through the use of a ratchet socket wrench (this: http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSBWWmD7qzY7BAnv-lto... ).
So, perhaps one could simply use "ajustar", foregoing the reference to the ratchet itself.
The resulting translation then would look a bit like this: "procure vigilar los posibles puntos de pellizco al **ajustar** los tensores de jarcia/husillos (whatever translation you have chosen for turnbuckle)"

ratchet turnbuckles aren't really used for cargo control, but instead for waste compaction systems. They are used typically to keep the ram connected firmly to the waste container.

Reference information:

Ratchet turnbuckles are specialty ratchet binders that use a tensioning mechanism as part of an assembly that secures or stabilizes a potentially loose object. They are sometimes called rigging turnbuckles.

Ratchet turnbuckles take up slack and create tension by empowering you to screw the end-fittings--which are joined to other elements of the rig--into the “take up” element of the turnbuckle body.

We also carry chain binder racks to keep your specialty ratchet binders in one place.
