If the Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit w/ Ratchet Straps and Wheel Chocks # EM98CV are all coming loose, there is definitely something odd going on.
First thing you will need to check is the release levers. You will need to make sure they are not staying in the release position once everything is tightened down. If they are, it would definitely explain why they are coming loose. This should also be pretty apparent as when you are lifting the ratchet handle, it should not be clicking at all.
This can either be caused by a defect, which is unlikely due to all of them doing the same thing, or something not being correct. I recommend removing the straps from all 4 ratchet handles and re-threading them together. To thread the strap, start from underneath the ratchet and push it up through the mandrel. The threaded strap should then lay straight, the length of it overlapping with the second strap on the other side of the ratchet. You should then be able to ratchet everything down securely.
If neither of these get them working properly, let me know and we can try something else.
