Note:

  The BVA-230OZR checks and load tests 6 volt and 12 

volt Batteries and tests the starting and charging systems on 12 

volt and 24 volt systems. The following examples illustrated are 

for a 12 volt system. The BVA-230OZR automatically identifies 

the appropriate voltage and displays the menu selection and 

instructions needed for that system.
