It is selecting low line voltage.

It looks like the gray wire is hot (black) and the yellow wire is neutral (white).

Quoted from scootss:

So, I move the yellow to 7 and then move the 5/6 jumper to 8/9, right?

Yes. As viewed in your image move the wires in the center row to the left row.

Quoted from scootss:

Is there anything I need to do to the varistor as well?

Just make sure it's correctly rated for 115V. If in doubt then just replace it. You can use the MOV @ https://www.greatplainselectronics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=V130LA20AP if you are unsure about finding a compatible component.

Quoted from scootss:

(seems so strange to me that it has been working fine!)

This can be a LONG explanation if you really want. I suspect you don't. The short answer is that the ratio difference is about 115/105 so all your AC voltages are approximately 1.1x their nominal values.
