The ProTeam 104279 power-nozzle lockout safety switch protects the brushroll, belt, and drive motor on ProForce uprights by stopping the brushroll from turning while the vacuum stands upright and locked. Mounted at the base of the unit next to the brushroll, it prevents needless wear and belt damage when the machine is parked, so replacing a failed switch keeps the power head safe and extends component life.
