I would think so, since it is part of the operation, and 3a states that "During operation, device dimensions can be no greater than 60.0 cm (D) x 60.0 cm (W) x 60.0 cm (H)."
Two things:
1. Quote as little as possible from the rules; I think there are some copyright issues.
2. Read 6.b.i.
It says that the final action is excluded from the exceeding the 60 cm penalty.
My understanding is that brief quotes are acceptable as long as you are acknowledging them as quotes (rather than taking credit).
I would agree with this interpretation. However, I would also comment that there are some complex issues around when the device dimensions should be measured, whether they can change during operation, and when you incur the 6.b.i. penalty vs. the 6.c. penalty. These have not been resolved, although I have several submitted FAQs and I know they are being actively discussed.
