read the stickey at the top of the 6.9 section about turning a pump up. i posted detailed pics on how to do it. and which way to turn the screw to turn it back down.

and just so your not confused, it takes an allen key to turn it up/down. allen keys have 6 sides. 1 side equals 1 flat. i would turn yours down 2 flats to start. see how it does then.
