cat pump on super saver

Can we adjust the pressure and how? I have one SS bay that is running almost 1600psi, and i did not make any changes other than replacing hose and nozzle.
 
On the pump you’re going to have a regulator/unloader. To lower the pressure turn the unloader nut counter clockwise to the desired pressure.
 
IIRC they use Paraplate regulators. Turn the brass nut counter-clockwise to lower the pressure, but you may need to replace it. The pressure won't get higher without a reason - when they go bad they will start to leak internally and rust the stacked washers that act as a spring, then it no longer regulates properly.
 
I found it. I tried decrease but it wont budge..so im going to order a repair kit and replacement valve for future use.
