Running watermaker through Multiplus 3000

We're installing 600 ah of lithium and a Multiplus 3000. We already have a 8.5 kw Paguro 120v generator.

Our Sea Recovery Aqua-Matic 700-1 watermaker is 115v and takes about 25 amps and to run (more on motor start).

We don't believe we'll be able to run the watermaker on the inverter bit what we would like to do is always have it powered by the inverter so it will do the auto flush. We know that if for some reason one of us clicks the start button on the watermaker panel without the generator running, it will trip the inverter.

Is there a way to have the watermaker always powered for the flush bit then when we start the generator, it provides the power to run all the watermaker motors?

That should happen automatically, if you have the generator wired to the AC Input of your inverter and everything powered on, up to the pass-through current limit of your particular model (50A) or the soft limit you impose via configuration.
