Fitting Instructions

Must be followed each time respirator is worn.
1. Open the respirator with the covered metal nosepiece facing upwards. Position the respirator covering the mouth and nose with the covered metal
nosepiece facing upwards (Fig. 1).
2. Pull the top strap over your head resting it high at the top of your head (Fig. 2).
3. Pull the bottom strap over your head and position it around the neck, below the ears (Fig. 3).
4. Place your fingertips from both hands at the top of the covered metal nosepiece. Using two fingers from two hands, mold the nose area to the
shape of your nose by pushing inward while moving your fingertips down both sides of the nosepiece (Fig. 4).
Pinching the nosepiece using one hand may result in improper fit and less effective respirator performance. Use two hands.
5. Perform a User Seal Check prior to each wearing. To check the respirator-to-face seal, place both hands completely over the respirator (Fig. 5). For
the 9820 respirator, inhale and exhale sharply. For the 9822 respirator, inhale sharply. Be careful not to disturb the position of the respirator. If air
leaks around nose, readjust the nosepiece as described in step 4. If air leaks at the respirator edges, work the straps back along the sides of your
head. If you CANNOT achieve a proper seal, DO NOT enter the contaminated area. See your supervisor.
6. The respirator should appear like this (Fig 6).
