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.

•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.

Recirculate Prior to Spraying or
Re-Prime After a Pump Runs Dry
NOTE: Agitate, recirculate, and heat the material
only as necessary to avoid mixing air into the fluid.
Use the recirculation mode when heating the material is
required. Note the temperature at the top of the heater
(outgoing or back to the hopper). When the thermometer reaches operating temperature, the material is ready
to spray.
If using a system that does not require heat, recirculation is still required prior to spraying. Recirculation
ensures that any settled fillers are mixed in, the pump
lines are fully primed, and the pump check valves are
operating smoothly.
Recirculation also allows you to re-prime one side that
has run dry.

Heat Fluid
To heat fluid evenly throughout the system:
1. Circulate the fluid at approximately 1/2 gpm
(10-20 cycles/min.) to raise the temperature of the
hoppers to 80-90° F (27-32° C).
2. Decrease the circulation rate to approximately
0.25 gpm (5 cycles/min.) to increase the heater outlet temperature to match the spray temperature.
NOTE: Circulating the fluid too quickly without
decreasing the circulation rate will increase only the
hopper temperature. Similarly, circulating fluid too
slowly will increase only the heater outlet temperature.

B Side Mix Manifold Restriction
The B side restrictor (AJ) controls “lead/lag” ratio errors
of the A and B flow into the static mixer tubes. These
errors occur momentarily when the gun opens. The
error is caused by differences in viscosity, volume, and
hose expansion.
The restrictor is used primarily when the mix manifold is
positioned remote from the machine with a short mix
hose to the spray gun. It can also be used in the ratio
check procedure.
B Side Mix Manifold Restriction
AJ
AB
If the mix manifold (AB) is mounted on the machine, you
do not need to adjust the restrictor. Leave open two
turns minimum.
To Adjust the Restrictor:
Adjust the restrictor stem clockwise while spraying until
you see a slight rise in the B side pressure gauge. The
point where the pressure starts to rise is a good adjustment setting.
NOTE: Unless you are dispensing directly out of the
mix manifold and mixer, this is an approximate
adjustment.
See the mix manifold manual for more information.

System Verification
System Verification
Graco recommends running the following tests daily.
Check for Normal Operation
Every time you start spraying:
•Watch the fluid gauges (AF). A pressure drop
occurs during pump stroke changeover. It should be
quick and synchronous.
•Stop the pumps on the upstroke. Check that both
gauges hold pressure for at least 20 seconds. See
Pump Troubleshooting on page 34.
NOTE: If one gauge drops, the others will rise.
•Stop the pumps on the downstroke. Check that all
gauges hold pressure.
•If using feed pumps, check that both feed pumps
run during the proportioner upstroke.
Mix and Integration Tests
Use the following tests to check for proper mix and integration.
NOTE: Spots that take longer to cure indicate insufficient pump loading, leakage, or lead/lag errors at a
remote mix manifold.
Appearance Test
Spray material onto foil. Look for variations in color,
gloss, or texture that may indicate improperly catalyzed
material.
Monitor Fluid Supply
NOTICE
To prevent pumping air into the system, which causes
incorrect proportioning, never allow the feed pump or
solvent pump containers to run dry.
An empty pump will quickly accelerate to a high speed,
and may damage itself and the other displacement
pump because it causes a pressure rise in the other
pump. If a supply container runs dry, stop the pump
immediately, refill the container, and prime the system.
Be sure to eliminate all air from the system.
Check Pot Life
Butterfly Test
At low pressure, and with the spray tip reversed, dispense a 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) bead of material onto foil until
multiple changeovers of each pump have occurred. Fold
the sheet of foil over the fluid then peel it back and look
for unmixed material (appears marble-like), or color
changes.
Curing Test
Spray a single continuous pattern on foil at typical pressure setting, flow rate, and tip size until multiple changeovers of each pump have occurred. Trigger and
de-trigger at typical intervals for the application. Do not
overlap or cross over your spray pattern.
Check curing at various time intervals, listed on the
material data sheet. For example, check for dry to touch
by running your finger along the test pattern’s entire
length at the time listed on the data sheet.
Check the fluid manufacturer's instructions for fluid pot
life at your fluid temperature. Flush mixed fluid out of the
mix manifold, hose, and gun before pot life time expires,
or before a rise in viscosity affects the spray pattern.
Ratio Check
Check the ratio at the mix manifold after any changes to
the proportioning system. Use Ratio Check Kit 24F375
to check the ratio at the mix manifold. See manual ratio
check kit manual for instructions and parts.
NOTE: To prevent an inaccurate ratio check when
feed pumps are used in your system, the feed pressure cannot be more than a maximum of 25% of the
proportioner outlet pressure. High feed pressure
can float the proportioner pump check balls, resulting in an inaccurate ratio check. There must be back
pressure on both sides of the mix manifold when
checking the ratio.

6. Shutdown the sprayer and turn off all power. See
Shutdown, page 30.
7. Clean the external surfaces only using a rag soaked
in solvent that is compatible with the spray material
and surfaces being cleaned.
8. Allow enough time for the solvent to dry before
using the system.
Recommended Spare Parts
Keep these spare parts on hand to reduce downtime.
See Recommended Spare Parts, page 54.
Change the Mix Ratio
In order to change the mix ratio, one or both pumps
need to be replaced, the air motor needs to be re-positioned, and the over pressure relief valves may need to
be installed.
NOTE: Only Xtreme XP lower pumps come with a
rod coupling.
1. Check the Varying Parts table on page 51 for the
correct pump sizes.
2. Remove and replace pump. See page 35.
3. Adjust the position of the air motor. See page 20.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Ensure all equipment is grounded. See Grounding,
page 18.
2. Ensure the area where the system will be cleaned is
well ventilated and remove all ignition sources.
3. Turn off all heaters and allow equipment to cool.
4. Flush mixed material. See Flush Mixed Material,
page 28.
5. Relieve pressure. See Pressure Relief Procedure,
page 22.
