2005 LSSV Owner Manual Supplement - GM Fleet

If you are using a winch to pull out your own vehicle,
follow the winch manufacturer’s guidelines for self
recovery and observe the following to prevent damage
to your vehicle:
• Do not self recover your vehicle by wrapping the
winch cable around an object (such as pulley
block or tree) and attaching it back to your vehicle’s
recovery loops.
• Always attach the winch cable directly to a solid
anchor directly in the rear of your vehicle to
achieve a straight line pull.
Receiver Extension
The receiver extension must be used any time you use
the rear receiver.
To install the rear receiver extension, do the following:
1. Remove any debris from the rear receiver
opening.
2. Install the extension (A)
and line up the hole on
the back side of the
rear bumper with hole
of the extension.
3. Install the retaining pin and spring clip exactly
as the pintle hitch does. Refer to Pintle Hitch
on page 4-11.
