Yes, you will have to lower the voltage.
It is difficult to see if you are moving the turns of T5 in the correct
direction if you observe the 7.9 volt point because that is the maximum
voltage that you are likely to see (it is almost 8 volts and the driving
opamp is being driven to the high voltage rail.
All the voltages will reduce during the process of getting the 4000kHz point
to tune with 7.5 volts or less. Tune downward to a frequency that gives you
a voltage less than the 7.9 volts, and then manipulate the turns of T5 to
reduce that voltage by about half a volt - then recheck the voltage at 4000
kHz - repeat as required. When you have the 4000 kHz point in range, check
all the other band edges to be certain they are also in range.
