Telecaster Four Way Switch Question (Help!)

I've got a set of Rio Grande Dirty Harry pickups (that I'm so excited to try!). However, I noticed that the Rio Grande diagram I've downloaded shows that the pickups only have a hot (white) and ground (black). I'm not very knowledgeable about wiring. I can follow a simple diagram and thats about it. I'd love some help. is the ground wired to the switch in the 4 way diagram? I was sure it was not, and thats what's really throwing me off here.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

EDIT: I realize the Rio Grande is for a 3 way switch. What I want to know is if it's possible to wire the Rio Grande's in a 4 way switch, and if so how. Thanks again!
 
The SD diagram is correct - wiring one of the PU's grounds to the switch allows it to be connected to the hot of the other PU to achieve the series position.
 
Perfect! Thanks! I was so sure that the 4 way switch diagram was showing a north start and north end, not a hot and ground wire. I've never seen a ground switch connected to a switch before, and it completely threw me. Shows how little I know about singlecoils, or pickup wiring in general.
