5.4.4.1. Orient the closure post with the two holes which are the closest together
on top. If the uppermost hole in the closure post does not align with the
uppermost hole in the platform angle post, the closure post is upside
down. Make sure the leg of the attachment plate with the two smaller
holes is captured under the upper hook and in contact with the ramp side
rail. Move the ramp or platform slightly (if needed) and clamp the
attachment plate to the side rail if possible before drilling (FIG. 5.14).
