The trampoline springs for SPORTSPOWER MSC-3878 may not reach the mat if the trampoline is not properly assembled. Possible reasons include:

- Incorrect alignment of the trampoline frame or legs.
- Springs not attached with the hook facing down as required.
- The jump mat not centered correctly within the frame.
- Missing or damaged springs.

Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and follow the instructions, including wearing gloves and eye protection when installing springs.
