Section 1: Introduction
The Frontline Classic is a lightweight hand-held low
volume herbicide applicator, designed for use with our
range of Nomix Total Droplet Control (TDC) herbicides.
Nomix TDC is a unique system, combining pre-mixed,
highly eective herbicides with easy to use,
ecient applicators.
Nomix TDC delivers a constant, uniform droplet size and
spray pattern, significantly reducing run-o and virtually
eliminating spray drift and droplet bounce. In times
of increased environmental and legislative pressure,
the Frontline Classic delivers ecient, compliant, cost
eective and accurate herbicide applications every time.
Nomix TDC herbicides are supplied in ready to use,
lightweight 5 litre packs that connect directly to the
lance, eliminating the risk of spillages and operator
exposure from mixing and measuring.

in the ‘OFF’ position.
• Place the battery into the
handset (point the handset
downwards as you insert the

hydride battery technology
allows the battery to receive a
part charge from a car charger,
without any detrimental battery
performance.

to set the lance to beep,
indicating when to step to
maintain the walking pace.
