The valves are air-operated pilot valves. Unless there is a certain pressure in the system, your valves cannot switch to one position or the other, and someone must have turned the little 'knob' to move the valve before there was pressure.
To reset the valve, you need to build up pressure. Simply place a finger over the valve vent (the one with nothing connected and a lot of air escaping), you can easily hold in the pressure, and the valve will self-reset at about 30 PSI.
Write back if that's not it.
