SP36 front heaters

[Dorn Hetzel]

There are some manual valves under the front of my 77FC35 that the previous owner showed me how to turn in order to enable or disable the flow of hot water to the heaters. They seem to do the job, albeit requiring laying on the ground and poking underneath to access

I don't yet know what my '78 FC has for valves, but my wife gets

roasted on her side no matter what I do. I would hesitate to turn

any valves I found, they would probably start to leak badly. Looks
