Transfer switch mounting height

[wnaber]

I am in the process of installing my new Generac 5502 generator. I am installing a RTSN100A3 transfer switch with the unit.

I am wondering if there is a maximum height that I can mount the transfer switch? I have a very limited area to install the transfer switch and I am
planning on mounting it above my existing sub panel. This would put the
base of the transfer switch at about 6 1/2 feet off of the garage floor.
This is fine for me cause im tall and I can reach it easily, but I
want to make sure its installed according to the NEC. I have found requirements for max breaker height in a sub panel, but not for a transfer switch.

Thanks in advance for any details you can provide.

This is the section on this I believe.
NEC 404.8(A) Location.
All switches and circuit breakers used as switches shall be located so that they may be operated from a readily accessible place. They shall be installed so that the center of the grip of the operating handle of the switch or circuit breaker, when in its highest position, is not more than 2.0 m (6 ft 7 in.) above the floor or working platform.
