- Turn on the main power switch, usually located near the front of the treadmill base.
3.3 Handrail Position (2-in-1 Functionality)
The Tvdugim TL1 offers two modes of operation based on the handrail position:
- Walking Pad Mode (Handrail Down): For speeds between 1-6 km/h. In this mode, the treadmill functions as a walking pad, ideal for use under a standing desk. The remote control is primarily used for speed adjustment.
- Running Mode (Handrail Up): For speeds between 1-10 km/h. With the handrail raised, the treadmill provides support for running. Speed can be adjusted via the control panel buttons.
Figure 3.1: The treadmill's 2-in-1 design allows for both walking pad and running modes.
