Default Stannah stair lifts

We had one fitted for MIL on one of the staircases, two rails with quite

I am inclined to leave the rails in place but it would be nice to remove
the chair, until next required.

They seem to be cunningly designed so that only their approved
contractors can work on them (e.g. I'm buggered if I can see how to get
the batteries out to replace them).

I thought at first that the seat might "lift off" after removing the
constraints, but it looks to me as though you might need to wind it off
at the top, after removing the fairly simple "stop". Anyone know if this
is correct?


I have never done a Stannah, one but have done a minivator one. That did
require you to manually wind it on or off of the top of the track.
