ZT1534 PTO clutch question

Forum Newbie
What are the two permanent magnets under the two brake pads for? My clutch jammed somehow? and when I engaged the PTO to cut, it ripped my belt apart. On disassembly I found one of the magnets shattered. I reassembled the brakes minus the broken magnet and I don’t see any difference in function. I also don’t see the cause of the jammed clutch. It seems to be working fine minus one magnet.
 
They are for braking when you disengage the clutch.

Unless the magnet pieces were in the pulley V, I don't see how they destroyed the belt.
