Open the black water drain valve and drain the tank. Close both valves.

Recently I came across a thread where the buyer of a new trailer had found crossed drain plumbing in his travel trailer. As unbelievable as this might seem at first, these trailers are assembled by people, and people make mistakes, especially when they're pushed as hard as the RV industry seems to push their assembly line workers.
Are you sure the handles just didn't get mismarked? That happens a lot. Fix is easy, just switch the stickers.
