See instructions in the manual for   replacing belt.   Make sure disposable paper filter dust bag is in place. DO NOT operate   the cleaner without a paper filter dust bag. Plug the power cord into an   electrical outlet and press the On(l) - OFF(O) switch on handle assembly   when ready to operate.   An extra belt is stored in the baseplate of your cleaner.
