I want to lower the setting so it injects at a lower psi. Do you screw the allen head screw in or out ??

curious, those who use the washerfluid reservoir, can you hear the pump kick on every time it sprays alcohol? it sounds pretty loud when i clean my windshield, i'm just wondering if it sounds the same with the alcohol injection.

If you hook the hose back up to your windshield sprayers. Then go for a ride. You can see what psi you are set on when the alcohol sprays on the winshield.

OK, i finally checked mine the way that fuchs said by hooking it up to your windshield washer pisser. I hit 8 psi and it didn't spray

Anyway, here is the answer.....

Lower the psi setting..... turn the screw to the left as if u wanna loosen it.

Raise the psi setting.... turn the screw to the right as if u wanna tighten it.
