yes
yes you can just be carefull how you clip the car battery first
Yes.
But, the charging system on the mower is only designed to "maintain" battery voltage. Not charge it.
Generaly the charging system only supplies a maximum of 15 amps. A low\dead battery will over tax the charging system and you will burn up the alternator that is installed under mowers engine flywheel. If that happens, you can expect to shellout $80.00 in labor plus parts to repair it.
Remove the battery and charge, or replace it.
Also...there should be a 15 amp fuse in line on the inside of the control pannel below the key switch that my blow out.
A low dead battery really won't affect it much (heck I've seen many run them WITH dead batterys for years, they just kept jumping them) cheap skates..... what can I say.
Yes, perfectly fine(don't have the car running) and don't sit there, short bursts on the starter...... even with a L&G battery, too long on the starter and you will burn it up.
