Hummer 2009 H2 - Manual (Page 329)

Front Mounted Receiver
This vehicle is equipped with a front mounted receiver.
The receiver can be used with a power winch platform
(described later in this section) or with other
accessories.
Never use the front mounted receiver to tow a trailer.
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.
