I bought a Stannah stair lift 260 for my father and I tried to
install it today. I cant work out how to get the chair on to the
rails. As it so heavy I tried to fit the chair to the rails on the
floor but its impossible. Can the bits that fit the chair to the
rail be removed and fitted first?

Not familiar with the curved models, but the chair looks pretty similar
to my parents' straight model.

I've only run the chair off the top of the rail, not off the bottom,
that has the advantage when you're refitting to the rail that gravity is
helping.

You could also remove the batteries to make the chair lighter.

Sorry that's about the limit of my suggestions.
