Hot Water Drain Valve Position for Winterization

Hi,

I'm a newbie 2015 Tab Max S owner wanting to winterize for the first time. The hot water drain valve in my Tab came in the 6 o'clock position.  The Tab winterization pamphlet that I printed from this forum shows that the 6 o'clock position is for the winterization mode. All the other valves came in the camping season position. The pamphlet shows that the camping season position for the hot water drain valve is 12 o'clock.
Please advise. Thank you in advance for your assistance, Dave

    Have you used your hot water, yet? If you have used it, than it is currently in "summer position." Mine was also the opposite of the diagram.

    Dave, I've been searching for that diagram, but have been unsuccessful.  Could you please point me to it?

    jkjenn,  We have used the hot water...love the Alde system! Should I turn the hot water drain valve to the parallel position for the winterization mode? Thank you
