If in no other place, you should have a breaker that can be pulled at least in the gear pump circuit. This breaker should always be pulled whenever you elect to do a emergency (gravity) extension of the landing gear. The drill is: Pull the breaker, put the switch in the "down" position and then switch the hydraulic shunt valve to drop the gear. If you don't have the capability of turning off the pump, preferably at the breaker, the pump will run continuously when you flip the valve. Not desireable!
