How do I change the belt, where does it install?

does the motor surge when you push it back & forth or when you raise & lower the brush end of vacuum?
if so it sounds like it needs a new belt installed.
the belt should be routinely changed every 12 months (some need to be changed sooner) do to the belt stretching.
changing the belt to see if that changes how vacuum operates is a cheep & easy fix.

It is the same as installing a Kirby Generation belt.
Here is a walk through:

There are belts in the clutch, which is the lever you can move to adjust the vacuum from floor to tools. The belts become stretched and need to be replaced. You can purchase just the belts or purchase the clutch assembly with the belts installed. There is also a belt change tool that makes the job much easier to install because the new belts will be much tighter than the old belts. The parts are available from thatvacguy.com.

To change the belts, make sure the vacuum is not plugged in. Lay it upside down and remove the screws holding the bottom plate on. Remove the bottom plate, pull the brush roll out noting how the belt goes so you will know how to put it back together. Especially how it goes around the idler pulley. Remove both belts, replace both belts, install the V belt onto the transmission first then around the brush roll and put the brush roll in place. Install the flat belt around the motor shaft and then onto the transmission pulley.

I think you mean belt??

Take the nozzle of, remove the brush roll, put the a new belt over the brush roll, re-install and put the bottom plate on, making sure that the belt is in the middle of the brush roll. Turn the big knob on the front until it locks, when it grabs the belt it will be hard to turn. Re-install the nozzle on the machine and lock it down. Turn the knob again all of the way, this will release the belt unto the pulley.

There are two screws on the top side just behind the Brush housing. Remove these two screws, one on each side, and the top plate can be removed. Then you can follow the directions above.
Hope that helps.
