Header for a harvesting machine including a displaceable cutterbar table

A header for a harvester, the header comprising;

• a frame;
• a cutterbar table movably mounted to the frame, the cutterbar table positioned to cut a standing crop;
• an intake auger mounted to the frame and positioned to receive the cut crop;
• the intake auger further journaled to rotate during a normal state in a predetermined direction, and to rotate during a corrective state in a predetermined reversed direction;
• a drive for said intake auger to rotate it selectively in said predetermined direction and said reverse direction;
• an actuator assembly connected to displace the cutterbar table relative to the frame, thereby changing a distance between the cutterbar table and the intake auger;
• a control unit for controlling the actuator assembly and the intake auger drive, the control unit programmed for, upon receipt of an error signal indicative of a need to operate in the corrective state:
• controlling the actuator assembly to displace the cutterbar table away from the intake auger to a safe operating position, prior to controlling the intake auger drive to rotate said intake auger in the predetermined reversed direction.
