The ideal way would be to draw the manual pictures, like the big boys do, but that will take time. Doesn't need to be any special software, take photos then tracing paper, pen and ruler to trace the photos will do the job.
If the problem is that the parts are black, why not just paint them a mid or light grey, so the parts can be clearly seen when printed in black and white. I would suggest trying a range of colours, photographing them and and seeing what looks best when printed.
