I am making a Technical Manual using the memoir Class, since I heard it is very customizable. Far now I've got this:
\documentclass[8pt,a5paper]{memoir}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{microtype}
\hoffset = -20pt
\voffset = -20pt
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{gobble}% Remove page numbers (and reset to 1)
\clearpage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{huge}
\textbf{Apparatus User's Guide}
\end{huge}
\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth, height=1\textwidth]{Images/Main/Plasma-Ball.jpg}
\end{figure}
\newpage
\pagenumbering{Roman}
\begin{normalsize}
\tableofcontents
\end{normalsize}
\newpage
\thispagestyle{plain}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\section{Introduction}
\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth, height=0.4\textwidth]{Images/Main/Plasma-Globe.jpg}
\caption{Plasma Globe}
\end{figure}
\lipsum
\newpage
\thispagestyle{plain}
\section{Components}
\textbf{Mechanics}
\lipsum
\textbf{Electronics}
\lipsum
\newpage
\section{Assembling}
\lipsum
\newpage
\section{Turn it on}
\lipsum
\newpage
\section{Calibration}
\lipsum
\newpage
\section{TroubleShooting}
\lipsum
\end{document}
But I am not very sure about how they look certain things and I don't know how to change them. For example the table of contents. All the sections start with 0.X instead of X.
The other pages have in the upper right corner the word Contents. I think it is irrelevant placing that word in that place and I don't know how to remove it.
The Cover Page, I don't know if it is fine to let it the way it looks
I would appreciate any other suggestions for an User's Guide either using packages or configuring the memoir class. Thanks

To get rid of your issues you need to change the code a little bit. Please note, that
memoirdoes not support to change the line for a chapter in TOC (to add dotted line).The code changings I marked with
