1. INTRODUCTION
The Easiair® 2020 Powered Air Kit circulates clean pressured air around a loose-tting hood. The belt-mounted
blower unit delivers air through a lter, via a hose, into the hooded headpiece. The constant supply of ltered air
creates positive pressure inside the headpiece, which prevents external contaminated air from entering the user’s
breathing zone.
This respirator must be used strictly in accordance with this user instruction manual and the instructions supplied
with the corresponding headpiece.
The user must read and understand this instruction manual to be able to use the respiratory protective system
correctly. Any questions should be directed to the manufacturer for further information. The relevant contact details
can be found on the back of this manual.
2. RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
The Easiair® 2020 Powered Air Kit is designed to allow safe breathing in an environment contaminated with airborne
pathogens and offers protection from general particulate hazards.
When assembled correctly, properly tted and equipped with the correct lter, this respiratory device will give a
high degree of protection against the inhalation of bacteria and virus particles. For complete protection, the Easiair®
2020 Powered Air Kit should be worn in conjunction with other personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriate for
the intended task and environment.
This device is not classied as “Breathing Apparatus” and cannot be used in oxygen depleted atmospheres, or
where toxic gases are present.

•Atmospheres that have an oxygen content of less than 19.5%.
•Areas subject to high winds.
•Conned spaces, or unventilated areas.
•Near open ames, sparks or areas with danger of explosion.
•Atmospheres containing unknown respiratory hazards or harmful gases.
3. APPROVALS

Ensure that the hood and belt are tted appropriately to the user. The protective factor of the complete system is
reduced if the seal of the headpiece is not tted properly. Only if the headpiece is tted correctly is the device able
to operate effectively.
To avoid dislodging, the blower unit should be worn behind the wearer, in the small of their back.
The device is unlikely to cause allergic reactions to the wearer. However, in the unlikely event of a reaction, the
user should immediately leave the contaminated area, remove the unit and seek medical advice.

•Attempt to modify, alter or tamper with any of the components in any way.
•Touch any moving parts of the unit while in operation.
•Allow water or other liquid substances into the device.
ATTENTION!
If any of the conditions outlined in this IFU document are not kept or followed,
your health may be at risk and your warranty protection in respect of the
product(s) will be automatically invalidated.
The user is strongly advised to leave the contaminated area immediately if:
•The warning alarm sounds.
•Breathing becomes difcult.
•Dizziness or distress occurs.
•Any part of the system becomes damaged.
•Airow into the headpiece decreases or stops.
•Contaminant can be smelt or tasted inside the headpiece.

7.2 Filters
The Easiair® 2020 Powered Air Kit is only compatible with
genuine TH3 PR SL lters and pre-lters supplied by Full
Support Healthcare Ltd. Using any other lters will invalidate
your warranty and could be a serious risk to your health.
Your respiratory device comes pre-tted with a genuine
Easiair® TH3 PR SL lter and pre-lter as standard.
Pre-lters are optional, disposable add-ons that can help
prolong the life of your lter in dirty environments. To attach,
simply sheathe around the lter body before inserting into
the blower unit.
Easiair® TH3 PR SL lters have a shelf-life of 5 years from
production. Once open, it is recommended that a lter be disposed of and changed every 6 months, or once soiled/
clogged – whichever comes sooner.
It is essential that the lter type used is suitable for the hazardous environment you will be working in. Please
consult with your Health & Safety Manager or an occupational hygienist if you are unsure.
If a lter is to be reused, store inside the unit to avoid dislodging contaminated matter.
Removing a soiled lter
•Twist the lter cover anti-clockwise approximately 25mm until it reaches its stopping point and lift off.
•Whilst wearing gloves, carefully remove the lter and pre-lter (if used) from the unit and dispose.
•Soiled lters should be disposed of according to your organisation’s policy for biological hazardous waste.
Fitting a new lter
•Sheath the lter with a pre-lter (if used).
•Align the lter with the aperture of the unit and push into
position.
•Slide a pre-lter around the outside of the lter if using.
•Place the blower unit casing ontop of the lter, aligning
the location slots with the indicator arrows.
•Push together and rotate clockwise until it ‘snaps’ into
place.
7.3 Belt
