(a) For
						Direct-Plunger Elevators. The bottom and top clearances and runby for cars, and
						for counterweights where provided, shall conform to the following:
(1) The bottom car clearance shall conform to
						Section 3017(a) provided
						that, in the determination of the clearance required by Section
						3017(a)(1), any
						under-car bracing which is located within 6 inches horizontally from the edge
						of the car platform or 3 inches horizontally from the centerline of the guide
						rails shall not be considered.
(2)
						The bottom runby of the car shall be not less than 3 inches.
(3) The top runby of the car shall be not
						less than 6 inches.
(4) Neither the
						top nor the bottom runby of the car shall be more than 24 inches. The top runby
						of the hydraulic elevator car is the distance the car platform travels above
						the top terminal landing when the plunger reaches its extreme limit of
						travel.
(5) Any fixed structure
						above the car or crosshead when the plunger is at its extreme limit of travel
						shall conform to the following:
(A) The
						distance above a horizontal plane even with the top of the car crosshead and
						extending 2 feet each side of the crosshead shall be not less than 2 feet.

						top shall be not less than 2 feet 6 inches.
(C) The distance above any fixed equipment
						mounted above the car top shall be not less than 6 inches.
