You need to put on the belt.

Is it correct to use put on?

It's perfectly correct.  In AE you would more often hear "you need to put the belt on", because we seem to love ending sentences in prepositions.  [However, there are some, myself included, who would claim that this is not a case of a preposition, but rather a two-word verb.  "Put the belt on the chair" would be a preposition.]
