This is my only Kirby, the Classic Omega. It's currently being restored. Does anyone know how to put a belt on? I can't figure out how to. |

I had to use an Omega when I was at St. John's.
Others might have a better description, but: put the belt on the agitator. With your fingers, (I HATED doing this)feed the belt up so you could see it. There is a belt lifter .Turn it to 'catch ' the belt, and position it on the pulley spindle. This, and emptying that bag were horrible tasks for me. I considered it 'penance', at the time. |
