A worn chain slide bar is no longer able to protect the track chain or the undercarriage frame against wear. This part should also be checked for wear whenever a track chain is replaced, and if necessary, changed at the same time. This avoids the time-consuming and costly extra removal of the track chain just to exchange a no longer functional chain slide bar before reaching the actual replacement point.
