This should help! Truss Rod Adjustment - YouTube

if the saddles haven't been moved, you'll just need to adjust the truss rod to get the proper action. It usually helps to have a ruler or gauge with very small gradations so that you can measure the action at the 12th fret. You usually want the E string at around 6/64 inch to 7/64 inch.
without any real tool to measure, it can be hard to really say whether it's too high or not. some people like a higher than factory action. some like it lower. depends on you as the player.
