What are the correct procedures for fuel boost pump usage on S2A, especially during takeoff and landing?

The manuals talk about the boost pump only during before engine start. At the same time I've seen many self-made checklist which talk about keeping fuel boost on for takeoffs and/or landings.

When should it be used during flight, if at all?
