In the troubleshooting section of a manual for a vacuum packing machine:
La bomba gira con dificultad, ralea o genera un ruido considerable
I find this to be a highly unusual use of the verb "ralear".
The Spanish manual might have been translated from Catalan, if that is any help.

I Spain, "ralea" is what my mechanic calls it when the engine is racing, i.e revving up and/or down when it's not supposed to.

Sorry!
No obstante, muy probablemente debas identificar el país de origen de la expresión por la posibilidad de un sentido más específico.
