If I recall correctly, the information is buried in the pilot operators handbook somewhere.

Incidentally, the aux pumps sound like diaphragm pumps. Unlike some impeller- or vane-type pumps they shouldn't be at all reliant on the fluid which they are pumping for lubrication or cooling.
It must be good practice to turn them off after use, but if there were any great harm in not doing so the Feds would surely have inflicted another f-f-fine placard on us to that effect...

Transfer pumps
Kip Wilkes at Maule says the pumps cannot be damaged by running them dry and they transfer at .4 gpm each.
