The  wiring manual I use states the following:

A) A 120/240-volt, 30 amp  receptacle (4 wires); connect the white
wire to the white receptacle  terminal.  Connect the red and black
cable wires to receptacle  terminal. Connect the bare ground
wire to the outlet box.  The bare  ground wire does not attach
to the terminal.

THIS IS ASSUMING YOU ARE USING A METAL BOX.  IF YOU ARE USING A  PLASTIC BOX 
THE WIRE GETS CONNECTED TO THE GREEN SCREW ON THE RECEPTACLE


B) A  240-volt, 30 amp receptacle (3 wires); connect the white, black
cable wires  to the receptacle terminal and recode the white
wire (red marker or  tape).  Connect the bare wire to two green
jumpers, one screwed to the  terminal box and the other attached
to the green receptacle terminal.   This terminal needs no  neutral
wire.
