DS26 Black Tank Flushing

We have a 2018 Freelander DS26. When I hook the hose up to the tank flush and turn the water on, I see full pressure, so there is no water flow. The water inlet center says "Do not use the tank flush valves unless the fullway termination valve is in the open position"
My "fullway termination" valves are open. But where is the "tank flush valves" the warning refers to?

Do you have both valves open . With both valves open It takes a little time for things to flush. I normally close closest valve to add a few gallons to get a good forceful dump. Make sure you’re fresh water is connected to the correct connection. Don’t know why but the black hose connection is fresh water and white is the flush system.

Toilet flush pedal

I got the same warning label and I believe its telling you not to use the toilet flush pedal/water fill lever while the hose is flushing out the black tank. If the toilet valve is opened it could cause a pretty big mess. I could be wrong. I do keep the drain line closed for a few seconds and then pull the dump valve so the extra water pressure excavates the waste better.
