# How to Remove the Roller on a Kirby
Your Kirby vacuum uses a roller to gather dirt and dust from surfaces. A belt hidden inside the vacuum nozzle surrounds the roller, causing it to spin when activated. Preventative maintenance for your Kirby vacuum includes examining the roller and its belt regularly. Replacing the belt or effectively cleaning the roller of debris requires first removing the roller from the nozzle.
