That squealing sound seems normal, I have that too. As long as it
goes away after a few seconds, I wouldn't mind. However, do make
sure to actually watch your rear blower start up. The thing is,
if it doesn't, the wind from the front blower will still make it
turn (though a bit slower.) Standing behind, you should not feel
a lot of air comming *out* of the blower. All air is supposed to
blow into your face and around your neck :-).
