the 1000 and the 950 simplicity are two different beasts! the installation manual for the 1000 is all online if you know where to look 😉 type minivator 1000 into google and I bet the first hit will lead you to https://dolphinlifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/minivator-1000-series-installation-manual.pdf
probably get slated for showing that link but it will allow you to safely install the lift to manufacturers spec and set up all the safety features, it does show you the install tube, tbh you can pick up the carriage, guide it onto the rail till the rack and pinion meet, then just hand wind it on fully, but as you say your carriage and chair are all one unit get someone to help you lift it onto the rail then while one supports and guides the other gets down and controls the final alignment and drives it on using the remote, I can do it single handed but tell the h&s lot they get shirty about it
