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.
