1. INTRODUCTION:
Thank you for purchasing this LINDR product.
2. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The VK LINDR mini-compressor is primarily de-
signed as an accessory for ow-through cool-
ers and beverage keg pressurisation.
VK models allow smooth regulation of pres-
sure in 1.0-3.4 bar range (VK LINDR 15) and 1.0-
4.2 bar range (VK LINDR 30). The set pressure is
displayed in bars on the pressure gauge. The
compressor can be turned o separately with
a switch. The air outlet from the compressor
terminates with a 5/16" (8 mm) speed tting.
The air compressor is zero-maintenance, tted
with a molecule lter for the drawn-in air.
This manual is designed for the following
models:
VK LINDR 15/ for dispensing rate: 40 l/h
VK LINDR 30/ for dispensing rate: 120 l/h

5. INSTALLATION AND PLACEMENT
Place the compressor onto a stable, level sur-
face (maximum permitted inclination: 2 de-
grees). The appliance requires unobstructed
air circulation.
• Ensure sucient free space for air circulation
and heat dissipation.
• Ensure sucient supply of fresh air.
• The device must not be placed in an enclosed
space.
• The device must not be placed in the vicinity
of heat sources or exposed to direct sunlight.
Minimum distance of vents from an obstacle
that would limit air circulation must be 30 cm.
Minimum distance for sections with no air
vents is 7 cm. Ideally, use the device in a cool
and well ventilated room. The device is de-
signed for use at ambient temperature of at
least 16 °C and at most 32°C.

11. HOW TO WORK WITH SPEED FITTINGS
11.1 Speed Fitting Installation
Grasp the speed tting and insert the hose all
the way inside the speed tting body (ca. 20
mm). The end of the hose must be straight so
that it plugs fully into the coupling. If the hose
will not go in, moisten the end of the hose.
gure 8 A
11.2 Speed Fitting Removal
Hold the grey ring tight against the body of
the speed tting and pull out the hose.
gure 8 B
WARNING: If you do not hold the grey ring but pull at the hose, the speed tting will cut
even deeper into the hose.
WARNING: Hoses must not be pressurised during removal.
12. AIR CONNECTION
Connect the VK LINDR mini compressor to a keg coupler. Plug
a 5/16” air hose into the speed tting on the front of the com-
pressor - Air outlet (1.).
13. AIR PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Pressure is adjusted mechanically using the adjustment screw
(3.) located on the front of the compressor. Set the pressure to
the desired value according to the pressure gauge.
