Cut it.....ratchets are generally bad for your webbing....it will be ok though just dont highline with a ratchet unless you remove it from the system.
4 feet shouldnt matter that much...how long is your piece of webbing?
Good luck man and if the ratchet doesnt work out, use 3 biners and cross the line under itself on the anchor side with the two biners and it will lock off automatically.
Oh its only 30 feet...dont cut it. Just pull it out or something. good luck man

It might have been a bit more direct just to contact us instead of posting on a forum if you needed immediate help. Most of the folks on here don't use that kit, but we work with it every day.
If you managed to get two strands of 1" through the ratchet's take up slot I'm amazed that it'd fit no matter what you were doing. If it is still set up, simply ensure the ratchet is unlocked fully open and stand/bounce on the webbing, that'll usually bounce any possible jam in the system.
If that doesn't work please email me directly with a bit more details on how it's "doubled up" and I'm sure I can help you out.

Hey freaky,
You have just learned first hand that ratchets are one of the least effective methods of setting up slacklines. What you should do is get yourself some oval carabiners, search this site for set ups like the Ellington system, and start slackin'.

I'll keep that attitude in mind next time one of your customers receives a mis-assembled pulley system after having to wait nearly a month to get it.
You really need to chill - as people have said it before it makes you look like a jerk.

To be professional, don't you have to make your living by doing something, or at least make it your profession?
There is not such thing as a "professional" slackliner. Buy webbing and oval biners. The mail order slacklines are about as good as the mail order brides.
