How to change the belt on your Kirby system:

  1. With the Power Nozzle off, rotate the belt lifter clockwise until the green arrows line up. Unlock the Rug Plate by unhooking the two latches on the rear of the Power Nozzle. Pull on the rear edge of the Rug Plate to remove.
  2. Slide off the old belt and replace with a new one.
  3. Make sure the numbers on the Brush Roll end caps are the same on both sides before inserting it into the Power Nozzle. Place the belt and Brush Roll back into the Power Nozzle. One of the Brush Roll ends is larger than the other. The Brush Roll will only fit in the Power Nozzle one way. Center the belt on the Brush Roll.
  4. Place the Rug Plate on the front of the Bumper first and then pull it over the rear. Secure it in place with the two latches.
  5. Turn the Belt Lifter counterclockwise until the red arrows line up. The belt should catch on the hook inside the nozzle. Reattach the Power Nozzle to the unit.
  6. Turn the Belt Lifter clockwise until the green arrows line up.
  7. Turn the unit on and check that the Brush Roll Indicator Light is on. This means that the brush roll is spinning.https://youtu.be/0vh40rDWZ88
