Default Troy Bilt pressure washer detergent valve - which way is open?

I just bought a Troy Bilt model 020344 pressure washer. I've read the
manual, but I'm not not 100% clear from the manual which way to turn
the detergent valve for "on." Is the vertical position for using
detergent, and horizontal just plain water? Or is it the other way
around? I tried calling the Troy Bilt number to ask, but was on hold
for too long.

Thanks!

inline with the hose is on. BUT, it only works with the black nozzle. You
cannot apply soap with the high pressure nozzle(s).

I did try it. The detergent is clear enough so that I couldn't tell
which way was which.
