When ever I start the vacuum for about 30 seconds I smell something burning. It smells like a rubber burn, such as the belt. I'm trying to fix this but I don't know where the belt is located in the vacuum.
any help would be appreciated.
Debbily is correct. It does sound like a belt. For an upright vacuum, you need to unscrew 2 screws located on the bottom of the head. Once the screws are off, the bottom cover should be easy to snap off.

Is the brush turning? remove any debris that is keeping it from rotating. It does sound like the belt is burning because the motor is trying to turn it and the brush/sweeper is jammed.
