Attach the swivel-arm to the vertical support post by

aligning the hole in the end of the swivel-arm with the pin

at the top of the vertical support post� Lock the swivel-arm

in place by rotating the black handle at the point where

the swivel-arm attaches to the upright support post�

on the bottom of the table top) with the hole in the end of

INTERIOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The interior of the American Coach Patriot combines premium quality

fabrics, carpeting, and flooring materials to deliver superior comfort

and luxury� With consistent routine care, cleaning and maintenance
the interior of your coach will last for many years�

note

Environmental conditions and how you utilize the vehicle will have
a substantial impact on the longevity of the interior, especially

upholstery, carpeting and flooring materials. If you follow the guidelines

listed below, your coach will provide an enjoyable ownership
experience with minimal cost of upkeep, assuming average annual
usage under normal operating conditions� Heavy usage, such as full
time living, severe service in harsh climates, or camping in rugged
environments will accelerate the wear of the interior components�

Premature wear or failure of fabrics, carpeting and flooring under such

conditions may not be covered under the coach’s warranty�

Use care to avoid placing heavy gear, sharp objects, and metallic
items against the wall coverings and on top of the carpeting� These
items could damage the fabrics, cause tears and abrasions, leave rust
stains, or trigger premature wear�

Certain dyed clothing items may transfer color to the upholstery and
wall coverings if they become wet� Pets will also transfer dirt, natural
skin oils, and could damage upholstery with their claws� Always
cover the upholstery if you anticipate that pets will jump on or sit on
the seats� However, do not leave upholstery covered long term as
this could promote the discoloration of the seating surfaces or the
formation of mold and mildew�

FABRIC WINDOW SHADES

AND COVERINGS

Fabric materials are limited mostly to the window shades inside your
American Coach Patriot� Clean those delicate fabrics gently with

a dampened soft, and lint free microfiber towel. Avoid using any

detergent type cleaners as the cleaners may cause the shade fabric to
discolor or become brittle�

Extend each shade fully and carefully wipe the shade from the top
down, using an overlapping technique to avoid spots that have not
been cleaned� Take care not to apply excessive water or physical
pressure to the fabric, which could damage the material and / or the
wood trim around the window� Allow the shades to air dry fully before
retracting them� Opening the windows, rear doors, sliding side door,
and the roof hatch will aid in drying the shades fully�

Alternatively, the fabric may be cleaned using a low powered vacuum
with a very soft drapery brush� Gently vacuum the shades using an
overlapping technique and remove any debris from the drapery brush
bristles between the cleaning of each individual shade�
