Attach a hose from city water to the manifold inlet or outlet barb. Attach a tube to the other manifold inlet\outlet barb and direct it to the cockpit. When I flushed my manifold I did a reverse flush - that is the opposite to the away the water normally flows. That said I really don't think it makes any difference which end of the of the manifold you use as the inlet because so much water will be forced through it.
It is a good idea to have a valve on the boat near the inlet that you can open gradually as you keep an eye on it. That way if something bad happens, like a hose popping off a barb, it won't be as big of a mess.
