Need help with v-plex clutch?????

Just got this new clutch for the MTD. Is the piece of what looks like a copper wire just for shipping and should it be taken out before install? Thanks I have no clue about these. IMG_3153.JPG

The belt you buy should be either an AX or BX because you are turning such a tight radius. Only use a dry graphite type lubrication. What are you putting it on? How about a picture of your application?
