Don't worry about it. The H2 has a Class 3 receiver which are held by 5/8" dia hitch pins which typically have 30,000 lb rated shear strength capacity. You will stall the winch long before the pin will fail.
What you need to know is that the front receiver on the H2 is not as strong as the rear, as it was not designed for towing (great for launching your boat down a boat ramp). So when using a front mounted multimount winch on an H2, (depending on the situation) it's best to avoid pulling from an extreem sideways angle.
