How to Change a Kirby Belt
1) Open top lid.
2) Turn nozzle locking latch counter clockwise.
3) Remove the nozzle.
4) Twist two latches on the backside (inside) of the nozzle counter clockwise to release the soleplate.
5) Remove the soleplate.
6) Remove brush roll and broken belt.
7) Clean the inside of the nozzle. This prevents future clogs and ensures smooth operation.
8) Place belt around the middle of the brush roll.
9) Return brush roll to housing.
10) Replace soleplate.
11) Open front latch on the nozzle.
12) Turn the plastic latch counter clockwise. The inside of this plastic latch has a hook that catches the belt for replacement. Make note of the belt loop at this time.
13) Put the armature (the metal spinning rod on the body of the vacuum) through the belt loop in the nozzle. It glides on without resistance.
14) Turn the nozzle locking latch clockwise to secure the nozzle.
15) Turn the belt hook latch clockwise to return it to its normal resting and operating position. This also secures the belt to the armature.
16) Close the top lid and resume vacuuming with your new belt.
