Isocyanate Conditions
Spraying or dispensing materials containing
isocyanates creates potentially harmful mists,
vapors, and atomized particulates.
Read material manufacturer’s warnings and material
MSDS to know specific hazards and precautions
related to isocyanates.
Prevent inhalation of isocyanate mists, vapors, and
atomized particulates by providing sufficient
ventilation in the work area. If sufficient ventilation is
not available, a supplied-air respirator is required for
everyone in the work area.
To prevent contact with isocyanates, appropriate
personal protective equipment, including chemically
impermeable gloves, boots, aprons, and goggles, is
also required for everyone in the work area.
Material Self-ignition
Some materials may become self-igniting if applied
too thick. Read material manufacturer’s warnings and
material MSDS.
Keep Components A and B
Moisture Sensitivity of
Isocyanates
Isocyanates (ISO) are catalysts used in two component
foam and polyurea coatings. ISO will react with moisture
(such as humidity) to form small, hard, abrasive crystals,
which become suspended in the fluid. Eventually a film
will form on the surface and the ISO will begin to gel,
increasing in viscosity. If used, this partially cured ISO
will reduce performance and the life of all wetted parts.
NOTE: The amount of film formation and rate of crystallization varies depending on the blend of ISO, the
humidity, and the temperature.
To prevent exposing ISO to moisture:
•Always use a sealed container with a desiccant
dryer in the vent, or a nitrogen atmosphere. Never
store ISO in an open container.
•Keep the ISO pump wetcup or reservoir (if installed)
filled with Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL
206995. The lubricant creates a barrier between the
ISO and the atmosphere.
•Use moisture-proof hoses specifically designed for
ISO.
•Never use reclaimed solvents, which may contain
moisture. Always keep solvent containers closed
when not in use.
•Never use solvent on one side if it has been contaminated from the other side.
•Always lubricate threaded parts with TSL or grease
when reassembling.
™
), Part
Separate
Cross-contamination can result in cured material in
fluid lines which could cause serious injury or
damage equipment. To prevent cross-contamination
of the equipment’s wetted parts, never interchange
component A (isocyanate) and component B (resin)
parts.
3A0420T7
Foam Resins with 245 fa
Blowing Agents
Some foam blowing agents will froth at temperatures
above 90°F (33°C) when not under pressure, especially
if agitated. To reduce frothing, minimize preheating in a
circulation system.
Important Two-Component Material Information
Changing Materials
•Changing material types used in your system
requires special attention to avoid equipment damage and downtime.
•Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after flushing.
•When changing between epoxies and urethanes or
polyureas, disassemble and clean all fluid components and changes hose sets.
•Check with your material manufacturer for chemical
compatibility.
•Most materials use ISO on the A side, but some use
ISO on the B side.
•Epoxies often have amines on the B (hardener)
side. Polyureas often have amines on the B (resin)
side.

Overview
Overview
Usage
The XP is a mechanically linked fixed ratio system that
can mix and spray most two-component epoxy and urethane protective coatings. When using quick-setting
material (less than 10 minute pot life) a remote mix manifold must be used or materials must mix at the gun.
Quickset manifold 24M398 is recommended for
quick-setting material.
The two pumps are carbide seat severe duty positive
displacement pumps that displace fluid on both strokes.
The XP systems are not approved for use in hazardous locations unless the base model, all accessories,
all kits, and all wiring meet local, state, and national
codes. See Important Two-Component Material Information, page 7, to determine the appropriate
location for your particular XP model.
Over Pressure Protection
Mechanically linked pumps can create excessive fluid
pressure if the full motor force is applied to only one
of the fluid pumps.
•Cart-Mounted Systems Only: Maximum air pres-
sure set point blow off valves are provided to limit
maximum fluid pressure. Do not remove these
valves.
•Color coded automatic over pressure relief
valves are used on cart-mounted systems to
dump excess fluid pressure back to the supply.
Never plug these return hoses. See Fluid Circu-
lation Manifold with Over Pressure Relief
Valves on page 38.
•When using an XP bare pump package to build a
system, use the over pressure relief valves referenced above.
•Never install individual shut off valves on the “A”
and “B” lines. On cart-mounted systems, common handles link the fluid control valves.
•On models other than 1:1 mix ratio, a rupture disc
is provided on the small side fluid pump (pumps
72cc and smaller) as a back-up to the over pressure relief valve. If the rupture disc ever opens,
do not operate the machine until the over pressure valve and the rupture disc have been
replaced.
•If changing pump lowers or motor on your system, use the correct over pressure relief valves
from the chart on page 39.

Air Line
•Bleed-type master air valve (CA): Required in
your system to relieve air trapped between it and
the air motor when the valve is closed. Be sure the
valve is easily accessible from the pump and
located downstream from the air regulator.
Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury from splashing or moving parts.
•Pump air regulator (CB): Controls pump speed
and outlet pressure.
•Air line filter (C): 40 micron filter removes harmful
dirt and moisture from compressed air supply. Accumulated water is automatically drained from the filter.
Fluid Line Accessories
Optional Accessories
•Optional Fluid Heaters (N): Heats the resin and
hardener before mixing. Improves the chemical
reaction and lowers viscosity to improve the spray
pattern.
•Optional Solvent Flush Kit (G): Flushes the mix
manifold. Includes a solvent pump, mounting hardware, and solvent supply hose.
Flush Before Using Equipment
The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is
left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid contaminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment with a
compatible solvent before using the equipment. See
Empty and Flush Entire System (new system or end
of job), page 29.
•Fluid Manifold (AA): Controls circulation and pump
priming.
•Mix Manifold (AB): Combines A and B fluid into
one fluid line.
•Circulation Handle (AC): Directs fluid flow for cir-
culation or mixing. Move to open position to relieve
fluid pressure, prime pumps, and circulate material
in hoppers. Move to closed position to spray mixed
material.
•Dual Shutoff Handle (AE): Controls A and B fluid
flow for mixing and dispensing. Close before flushing.
•Solvent Flush Valve (AD): Controls solvent flow to
the mix manifold, hose, and spray gun.
•Static mixer/gun hose kit: Thoroughly mixes the
two fluids and delivers the mixed fluid to the spray
gun. Includes static mixer and hoses to the spray
gun.

grounding lug locknut (W) and washer (X). Insert ground
wire end (Y) into lug (Z) slot and tighten locknut
securely. Connect ground clamp to a true earth ground.
Y
W, X, Z
Solvent Pump: use ground wire and clamp (supplied
with solvent pump). Follow instructions in pump manual.
Air and fluid hoses: use only static dissipation type
hoses with a maximum of 500 ft (150 m) combined hose
length to ensure grounding continuity. Check electrical
resistance of hoses regularly. If total resistance to
ground exceeds 29 megohms, replace hose immediately.
Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Spray gun: ground through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container: follow local code.
The equipment must be grounded. Grounding
reduces the risk of static and electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current due to
static build up.
183A0420T
Object being sprayed: follow local code.
Solvent pails used when flushing: follow local code.
Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded
surface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts
grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: hold metal part of the spray gun
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger
the gun.
Wire Systems with
Explosion-Proof Heaters
(Hazardous location systems only)
If your system is rated for hazardous areas, and you
have explosion-proof heaters, you must have a qualified electrician connect heater wiring. Ensure wiring
and installation comply with local electrical codes for
hazardous areas.
Improperly installed or connected equipment will create
a hazardous condition and cause fire, explosion, or
electric shock. Follow local regulations.
