Serpentine Belt
NOTE: Make sure the belt tensioner is within the proper operating range.
Most Kodiak engines utilize serpentine belts on the front of the engine; others use
V belts. This type of belt system incorporates a belt-tensioning device that keeps
the belt at the proper tension. This belt should be checked routinely for cracks or
‘checking’ on the groove side of the belt. If cracks or ‘checking’ are apparent the
belt must be changed.
