Hummer 2005 H2 - Manual (Page 289)

To use the front mounted receiver with the receiver
extension, do the following:
1. Locate the receiver extension (A) in the rear of the
vehicle where it is attached to the spare tire
mounting plate.
2. Loosen the wing nuts (B) holding the extension to
the spare tire plate and remove it.
3. The extension attaches to the front receiver exactly
as the power winch platform does. See “Power
Winch Platform” following in this section.
4. Attach the accessory you will be using to the
receiver extension.
Power Winch Platform
You can use the power winch platform (if equipped) with
an aftermarket winch. Connect the winch to the
platform and wiring to the vehicle following the winch
manufacturer’s guidelines.
Notice: Do not use the winch platform to winch at
a tension of more than 9,000 lbs. (4 082 kg). This
would damage your vehicle’s frame. This damage
would not be covered by your vehicle’s warranty.
If you are using a winch to pull out another vehicle,
follow the winch manufacturer’s guidelines and observe
the following to prevent damage to your vehicle:
• If possible, have your vehicle anchored from
the opposite side of the winch to a solid,
immovable object.
If winching from the front, use both of the rear
recovery loops. If winching from the rear, use both
of the front recovery loops.
• Put your transmission in NEUTRAL (N).
• Use your regular brakes to hold your vehicle in
place and block the wheels to keep the vehicle
from moving.
