Ezee Sleeve overview 

The  Ezee  Sleeves  consists of  a sleeve  and  a  cuff. There  are  3  sizes  of  Ezee  Sleeve  available; small, 
medium and large. See section 7.4.2 for ordering details.  

The sleeve attaches to the glove port via 2 O-rings. The cuff is then attached to the sleeve via an O-
ring. Note: The workstation should not be used without the Ezee Sleeves attached. 

 

Entering the workstation chamber using the Ezee Sleeves  

 

To enter the workstation via the Ezee Sleeves; 

 

Set the glove port selector switch (Figure 11) to the correct position for the desired hand entry 
(Figure 16) 

 

Hold the desired Ezee Sleeve cuff with the opposite hand. 

 

Supporting the Ezee Sleeve cuff, push the desired hand through the cuff of the Ezee Sleeve. 
Figure 17 shows this procedure; 

Figure 17: Entering the cuffs of the Ezee Sleeves 

 

 

Repeat  the  procedure  for  the  other  hand  (if  both  hands  are  to  enter  the  workstation 
chamber). 

 

Press and hold the vacuum pedal with your foot (item 1 in Figure 12) until the internal gas 
volume in the sleeves has been evacuated (the sleeves will now be tight around your arms), 
then remove your foot from the vacuum pedal. 

 

Repeat the vacuum process to remove oxygen from the Ezee Sleeves. 

 

Unscrew the glove port cover knob by turning it anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise). 

 

Rotate the glove port bar until it is horizontal.
